CARE   OF    FORTIFICATIONS.

fortification,  except  the  rnmpsand  glacis.  If,  in  any  case,  it  be  necessary 
to  provide  for  crossing  them,  it  should  be  done  by  placing  wooden  steps 
or  stairs  against  the  slopes.  The  occasional  walking  of  persons  on  a 
parapet  will  do  no  harm,  provided  it  be  not  allowed  to  cut  the  surface 
into  paths. 

37.  No  cattle,  horses,  or  other  animal  shall  ever  bo  permitted  to  go 
upon  the  slopes,  the  ramparts,  or  the  parapets,  nor  upon  tiie  glacis,  ex- 
cept within  fenced  limits,  which-  should  not  approach  the  crest  nearer 

.  than  30  feet.  -  '       ^ 

38.  All  grassed  surftices,  excepting  the  glacis,  will  be  carefully  and 
frequently  mowed,  (except  in  dry  weather,)  and  the  oftener  the  better, 
while  growing  rapidly-^the  grass  being  never  allowed  to  be  more  than 
ft  few  inches  high.  In  order  to  cut  the  grass  even  and  close,  npyn  small 
slopes,  a  light  one-handed  scytiie  should  be  used  ;  and  i«n  mowing  the 
steep  slopes,  the  moyver  siiould  stand  on  a  light  ladder  resting  against 

*  the  slope,  and  not  upon  the  grass.  Crops  of  hay  may  be  cut  on  the 
glacis;  or,  if  fenced,  itmiy  be  used  as  pasture,  otherwise  it  should  bo 
treated  as  other  slopes  of  tlie  fortification.  On  all  the  slopes,  spots  of 
dead  grass  will  be  cut  out  and  replaced  by  fresh  sod.  All  weeds  will 
be  eradicated. 

39.  The  burning;  of  grass  upon  any  portion  of  a  fortification  is  strict- 
ly forbidden.  .  •  ^  ♦ 

40.  Particular  attention  is  required  to  prevent  the  formation  of  gul- 
lies in  the  parade,  terreplein,  and  ramps,  and  especially  in  slopes  where 
grass  is  not  well  establislied. 

4X.  Earth,  sand  or  ashes,  must  not  be  placed  against  wood  work  ;  a

free  ventilation  must  be  preserved  around  it ;  nnd  all  wooden  floors, 
platforms,  bridges,  &c.,  will  be  kept  clean  swept. 

42.  The  machinery  of  draw  bridges,  gates,  and  posterns  miist  be  kept 
in  good  working  order  by  proper  cleaning  and  oiling  of  the  parts  ;  the 
bridges  will  be  raised,  and  the  gates  and  posterns  opened  as  often  as 
once  a  week. 

43.  The  tferrepleins  of  forts,  the  floors  of  cnsemates,'  caponnlers,  store- 
rooms, barracks,  ghllericp,  posterns,  magazines,  &c.,  and  the  side-walks 
in  front  of  quarters,  as  well  as  otlier  wiilks,  are  sometimes  paved  with 
brick  or  stones,  or  formed  of  concrete.  These.surfa«.'es  must  be  prcfserved 
from  injury  with  great  care*-  In  transjiortiug  guns  and  carriages,  and 
in  mounting  them,  strong  way-planks  will  he  used,  and  neither  tlie 
wheels  nor  any  otlier  part  of  the  carriages,  nor  any  machinery,  such  as 
shears,  gins,  &c.,  nor  any  handspike  or  other  implements,  will  be  allowed 
to  touch  those  surfaces.  Unless  protected  in  asimilar  manner,  no  wheel- 
barrow, or  vehicle,  or  barrel,  shall  be  rolled  on 'said  surfaces.  No  vio- 
lent work  will  be  done,  nor  any  heavy  weight  sufiered  to  fall  upon  them. 
In  using  ma(thines,  as  gins,  &c.,  in  casemates,  care  must  be  taken  not  to 
injure  the  arch,  or  ceiling,  or  tloors.  Neglect  of  these  precautions  may 
cause" injuries  apparently  slight,  but  serious  in  efifecr,  from  leaking  of 
water  into  masonry,  casemates,  &c. 

44.  The  doors  and  windows  of  all  store  rooms  and  unoccupied  case-'

thorough  ventilation. 

45.  Masonry  shot-furnaces  will  be  heated  only  on  the  approach  of  an 
enemy.  For  ordinary  practice  with  hot  shct,  iron  furnaces  are  provided. 

46.  The  foregoing  matters  involve  but  little  expense;  the  labor  is 
within  the  mea  .s  of  every  garrison,  and  no  technical  knowledge  is  re- 
quired beyond  what  will  he  found  among  soldiers.  Other  repairs  in- 
quiring small  disbursements,  such  as  repainting  exposed  wood  or  iron 
work,  can  be  also  excuted  by  the  garrison  ;  but  reports,  estimates;  and 
requisitions,  may  be  Accessary  to  obtain  the  materials. 

'  "  47.  No  alteration  will  be  made  h\  any  fortification,  or  in  any  build- 
ing whatever  belonging  to  it,  nor  in  any  building  or  work  of  any  kind; 
nor  will  any  building  or  work  of  earth,  masonry,  or  timber,  be  erected 
within  the  fof  tiiication,  or  on  its  exterior,  within  half  a  mile,  except 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  Engineer  Department,  and  by  authori- 
ty of  the  Secretary  of  War.

48.  At  each'pern^nent  post  with  a  fixed  battery,  and  garrisoned  by 
not  more  than  one  company,  there  will  be  kept  mounted  for  purposes  of 
instruction  and  target  practice,  three  he'uvf  guns  ;  and  at  posts  garri- 
soned by  more  than  one  company,  at  the  rate  of  two  for  each  of  the  com- 
panies composing  its  garrison.  The  other  guns  dismounted  will  be  pro- 

.perly  placed  within    their  own  traverse  circles,  and  the   carriages  pre- 
-•  served  from  the  weather.  .  -it. 

49.  All  guns  should  be  sponged  clean,  and  their  vents  examineu  to 
see  that  thev  are  clear.  The  chassis  should  be  traversed  and  l€tt  in  a

vating screws  or  machines  wiped  clean,  worked  and  oiled  if  required, 
and  the  nuts  of»all  bolts  screwed  up  tight.  This  should  all  be  done  reg- 
ularly once  in  every  week. 

50.  AVhen  tarpaulins,  or  pent  houses,  are  placed  over  the  guns,  they 
should  be  removed  once  a  week  when  the  weather'is  fair,  the  carriages 
and  guns  brushed  off,  and  if  damp,  allowed  to  dry. 

51.  An -old  sponge  gtaff  and  head,  should  be  used  for  drill.  The  new 
sponges  should  never  be  used  unless  the  gun  is  fired.  The  implements 
should  be  kept  in  stores,  undercover,  and  beexamineJ,  wiped  clean,  or 
brushed  at  least  once  a  month.  In  case  of  leather  equipments,  due 
care  should  be  taken  for  their  preservation,*  by  the  use  of  oil,  but  never 
using  varnish. 

52.  Magazines  should  be  frequently  examined  to  see  that  the  powder 
is  well  preserved.  They  should  be  opened  every  other  day,  when  the 
air  is  dry  and  clear.  Barrels  of  powder  should  be  turjied  and  rolled 
Occasionally.  Under  ordinary  circumstances,  only  a  few  cartridges 
should  be  kept  filled.  If  the  paper  body  of  the  cartridge  becomes  soft, 
or  loses  its  sizing,  it  is  certain  that  tlie  magazine  is  very  damp,  and 
means  should  be  found  to  improve  the  ventilation.  Cartridge  bags  may 
be  kept  in  the  magazine  ready  for  filling  ;  also  port  fires,  fuses,  tubea 
and  primers.  Stands  of  grape,  cannister,  and  wads,  for  barbette  guns 
should  be  kept  in  store  with  the  implements.  In  casemate  guns,  wads 
may  be  bung  in  bundles,  and  grape  and  cannister  near  the  guns.  Shot, 
-♦veil  lacquered  and  clean,  may  be  placed  in  piles  near  the  guns.

by  a.Btop-watoh,  or  by  counting  the  beata  (previously  ascertaining  their 


REGIMENTS. 


value)  of  other  watches,  and  the  range  may  sometimes  be  computed  by 
the  time  of  flight.     Other  modes  ascertaining  the  range  will  readily  oc-     v 
cur  to  officers  of  science. 

58.  When  charged  shells  with  fuze  are  thrown, 'the  time  of  bursting 
will  be  noted.  If  they  are  intended  to  fall  on  land,  only  a  blowing 
charge  will  be  given  to  the  shells,  so  tliat  they  may  be  picked  up  for 
further  use. 

59.  On  lining  from  the  barrel,  the  proof  range  of  powder  will  bo 
marked  on  the  cartridges. 

CO.  The  general  objects  of  this  practice  are,  to  give  to  officers  and 
men  the  ready  and  effective  use  of  batteries  ;  to  preserve  on  record  the 
more  inipojlant  results  for  the  benefit  of  the  same,  or  future  command- 
ers, and  to  ascertain  the  efficiency  of  guns  and  carriages. 

01.  The  commanders  of  field  artillery  will  nlso  keep  registers  of  theiv 
practice,  so  that  not  a  shot  or  shell  shall  be  thrown  in  the  a'rmy,  for  in- 
.struction,  without  distinct  objects,  such  as  range,  accuracy  of  aim,  num- 
ber , of  ricochets,  time  of  bursting  in  the  case  of  shells,  &c. 
•  G2.  Th.)  issue  of  blxnk  cartridges  for  the  drill  and  instruction,  of  the 
light  artillery  companies  will  be  authorized  in  such  quantities  as  may  be 
necessaryf  on.Yequisitions  dul}'^  approved  by  the  proper  department. 

03.  Fo?'  %rtillery  there"  will  be  three  annual  periods  of  practice  in 
firing,  viz  :  in  Apnl,  June  and  October.  At  the  termination  of  each 
period  the  commanding  officers  of  posts  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant- 
General  full  reports  of  the  results. 

04.  To  determine  accuracy  in  firing  shot  and  shell,  butts  or  targets 
will  be  used.     If  no  natural  butt  presents  itself,  targets  will  be  erected. 

05.  As  practice  in  gunnery  is  a  heavy  expense,  commanders  of  com* 
panics,  and  their  imtnediate  superiors,  are  charged  with  the  strict  execu- 
tion of  the  foregoing  details  ;  and  all  ofJicers  on  inspection  duty  will  re- 
port through  the  proper  channels,  upon  such  execution.

Inclosed  herewith  you  will  receive  the  report  of 


— ,  the  oflScer 
comniandinjr;  the  compai'y  in  which  the  sergeant  has  been  serving,  to 
which  I  .add  the  following  remarks  : 

r— ,  Commanding Regiment. 

12G.  When  a  company  is  detached  from  the  headquarters  of  the  regi- 
ment, the  reports  of  the  commanding  ofhcer  in  this  mntter,  will  pass  to 
Ihe  regimental  headquarters  through  the  commanding  officer  of  the 
■post  or  detachment,  and  be  accompanied  by  his  opinion  as  to  the  fitness 
of  the  candidate. 

127.  Ordnance  sergeants  will  Ijc  assigned  to  posts  when  appointed, 
and  are  not  to  be  transferred  to  other  sliUions  except  by  orders  from 
the  Adjutant  agd  Inspector  General's  office. 

128.  At  the  expiration  of  their  term  of  service,  ordnance  sergeants 
may  be  re-enlisted,  provided  they  shall  have  conducted  themselves  in  a 
becoming  manner,"  and  perff)rmed  their  duties  to  the  satisfaction  of  tho 
commanding  otlicer.  If  the  commanding  dfiieer,  however,  shull  not 
think,  proper  to  re  enlist  the  ordnance  sergeant  of  his  post,  he  will  not 
discharge  him  at  the  expiration  of  his  service,  unless  it  shall  be  tho 
wish  of  the  sergeant,  but  will  communicate  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspec- 
tor General  his  reasons  for  declining  to  re-enlist  him,  to  be  submitted 
to  the  War  Dejjartment. 

129.  The  officers  interested  must  be  aware,  from  the  nature  of  the 
dutie-s^ assigned  to  ordnance  sergeants,  that  the  judicious  selection  of 
them  is  of  no  small  importance  to  the  interests  of  the  service  ;  and  that 
while  the  law  contemplates,  in  the  appointment  of  these  non-commis- 
sipned  officers,  the  better  preservation  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance 
stores  in  deposit  in  the  several  forts,  there  is  the  further  motive  of  of- 
fering a  reward  to  those  faithful  and  well-tried  sergeants  who  ha^'e  long 
served  their  country,  and  of  thus  giving  encouragement  to  tlie  soldier 
in  the  rgnks  to  emulate  them  in  conduct,  and  .thereby  secure  substan- 
tial promotion.     Colonels  and  captains  can  not,  therefore,  bo  too  par-

iheii*  testimony  as  to  their  merits. 

130.  The  appointinent  and  removal  of  ordnance  sergeants,  stationed

Ordnance  JDepartment. 

131.  When  a  non-commissioned  o6Bcer  receives  the  appointment  of 
ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  dropped  from  the  rolls  pf  the  regiment 
or  company  in  which  he  may  be  serving  at  the  time. 

132.  Tiie  duty  of  ordnaqce  sergeants  relates  to  the  care  of  the^rd- 
nance,  arms,  ammunition,  and  other  military  stores  at  the  post  to  which 
they  may  be  attached,  under  t\\e  direction  of  the  commanding  officer, 
and  according  to  the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

133.  If  a  post  be  evacuated,  the  ordnance  sergeant  shall  remain  on  • 
duty  at  the  station,. -under  the  direction  of  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  De- 
partment, in  charge  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  and  of  such 
other  public  property  as  is  not  in  charge  of  some  officer  or  agent  of  other 
Departments  ;  for  whicli  ordnance  stores  and  other  property  he  will  ac- 
count to  the  chiefs  of  the  proper  departments  until  otherwise  directed. 

134.  An  ordnance  sergeant  in   charge  of  ordnance  stores  at  a  post 
where  there  is  no  commissioned  officer,  shall  be  held  responsible  for  the   . 
safe  keeping  of  the  property,  and   he  shall  bo  governed  by  the  regula- 
tions of  the  Ordnaoce  Department  in  making  issues  of  the  same,  and  in 
preparing  and  furnishing  the   requisite  returns.     If  the  means  at  his 

•disposal  are  not  sufficient  for  the  preservation  of  the  property,  he  shall 
report  the  circumstances  to  the  Chief  of  ti)e  Ordnance  Department. 

135.  Ordnance  sergeants  are  to  be  considered  asbelonging  to  the  non- 
commissioned staff  of.  the  post,  under  the  orders  of  the  commanding  • 
officer.  They  are  to  wear  the  uniform,  with  the  distinctive  badges  pre- 
scribed for  the  non-commissioned  staff,  of  regiments  of  artillery;  and 
they  are  to  appear  under  arms  w^th  the  troops  at  all  reviewd  and  in- 
spections, monthly  and  weekly* 

13G.  When  serving  at  any  post  which  may  be  the  headquarters  of  a 
regiment,  ordnance  sergeants  shall  bo  reported  by  name  on  the  post  re- 
turns, and  mustered  with  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment;

received  from  any  officer,  or  subsequently  issued  to  them  by  the  com- 
manding officer  of  the  company  for  the  time  being.  Whenever  the 
company  may  be  ordered  from  the  post,  the  ordnance  sergeant  will  be 
transferred  to  the  rolls  of  any  remaining  company,  by  th^  order  of  the 
commaiiding  officer  of  the  post. 

137.  In  the  event  of  the  troops  being  all  withdrawn  from  a  post  at 
which  there  is  an  ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  furnished  with  his  de- 
scriptive roll  and  account  of  clothing  and  pay,  signed  by  the  proper

him  an  equal  distance.  The  drums  will  beat  a  march,  or  ruffle,  ac- 
cording to  the  rank  of  the  reviewing  officer,  at  the  same  time  that  the 
colors  salute. 

351.  When  the  column  has.  passed  the  reviewing  officer,  the  Colonel 
will  direct  it  to  the  ground  it  marched  from,  and  command, 

Guide  lefty 

in  time  for  the  guides  to  cover.  The  column  having  arrived  on  its 
ground,  the  Colonel  will  command, 

1.   Column.     2.  Halt. 

form  it  in  order  of  battle,  and  cause  the  ranks  to  be  opened,  as  in  para- 
graph 341.  The  revi^  will  terminate  by  the  whole  sj^uting  as  at  the 
beginning. 

352.  If,  however,  instructions  have  been  previously  given  to  march 
the  tl^^ops  past  in  quick  time,* also,  the  Colonel  will,  instead  of  chang- 
ing tlie  guides,  halting  the  column  and  wheeling  it  into  line,  as  above 
dircijted,  give  the  command, 

1.   Quick  time.     2.  March.   . 

Irt  passing  the  reviewing  officer  again,  no  salute  will  be  offered  by 
either  officers  or  men.'  The  music  will  have  kept  its  position  opposite 
the  reviewing  officer,  and  at  the  last  command  will  commence  playing, 
and  as  the  column  approaches,  will  place  itself  in  front  of,  and  march 
off  with  the  column,  and  continue  to  ptay  until  the  battalion  is  halted 
on  its  original  ground  of  formation.  The  review  will  terminate  in  the 
same  manner  as  prescribed  above. 

353.  The  Colonel  will  afterwards  cause  the  troops  to  perform  such 
exercise*  and  manoeuvres  as  the  reviewing  officer  may  direct. 

354.  When  two  or  more  battalions  are  to  be  reviewed,  they  will  be 
formed  in  parade  order,  with  the  proper  intervals,  and  will  also  per- 
form the  same  movements  that  are  laid  down  for  a  single  battalion,  ob- 
serving the  additional  directions  that  are  given  for  such  movements 
when  applied  to  the  line.  The  Brigadier  General  and  his  staff,  on  foot, 
will  place  themselves  opposite  the  centre  of  the  brigade;  the  Brigadier- 


38  FgEMS  or  parade— guard-mouiNTIng. 

General  t-«'0  paces  in  front  of  the  rank  of  Colonels,  his  aid  two  paces 
on  his  right,  and  one  retired  ;  and  the  other  brigade  staff  officers,  those 
having  the  rank  of  field  officers,  in  the  rank  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and 
Majors,  and  those  below  that  rank,  in  the  rank  of  company  officers. 

355.  In  passing  in  review,  a  Major-General  will  be  four  paces  in 
front  of  the  Colonel  of  the  leading  battalion  of  his  division,  and  the 
Brigadier-General  will  be  on  the  right  of  the  Colonels  of  the  leading 
battalions  of  their  brigades  ;  staff  officers  on  tiie  left  of  their  Generals. 

356.  When  the  line  exceeds  two  battalions,  the  reviewing  officer  may 
cause  them  to  march  past  in'  quick  time  only.  In  such  cases,  the- 
mounted  officers  only  will  salute. 

357.  A-number  of  companies  less  than  a  battalion  -will  be  reviewed 
as  a  battalion,  and  a  single  company  as  if  it  were  with  the  battalion. 
In  the  latter  case,  the  company  may  pass  in  column  or  platoons. 

358.  If  several  brigades  are  to  be  reviewed  together,  or  in  one  line, 
this  further  difference  will  be  observed :  the  reviewing  personage, 
joined  by  the  General  of  the  division,  on  the  right  of  hU  division,  will 
proceed  down  th3  line,  parallel  to  its  front,  and  when  near  the  Briga- 
dier-Generals respectively,  will  be  saluted  by  their  brigades  in  succes- 
sion. The  music  of  each,  after  the  prescribed  salute,  will  play  while 
the  reviewing  personage  is  in  front,  or  in  rear  of  it,  and  only  then. 

359.  In  marching  in  review,  with  several  battalions  in  common  time, 
tl^  music  of  each  succeeding  battalion  will  commence  to  play  when  the 
music  of  the  preceding'one  has  ceased,  in  order  to  follow  its  battalion. 
When  marching  in  quick  time,  the  music  will  begin  to  play  when  the 
rear  company  of  the  preceding  battalion  has  passed  the  reviewing  of- 
ficer. • 

360.  The  reviewing  officer  or  personage  will  acknowledge  the  salute 
by  raising,  or  taking  off  his  cap  or  hat,  when  the  commander  of  the 
troops  salutes  him  ;  and  also  when  the  colors  |fiss.  The  remainder  of 
the  time  occupied  by  t!ie  passage  of  the  troops  ne  will  be  covered. 

.361.  The  review  of  cavalry  and  artillery  will  be  conducted  on  simikr 
principles,  and  according  to  the  systems  Of  instruction  fur  those  aiTins  of 
the  service. 

III.     GUARD-MOUNTING. 

362.  Camp  and  garrison  guards  will  be  relieved  every  twenty-four 
hours.  The  guards  at  outposts  will  ordinarily  be  relieved  in  the  same 
miarmer  ;  but  this  must  depend  on  their  distances  from  camp,  or  other 
circumstances,  which  may  sometimes  require  their  continuing  on  duty 
several  days.  In  such  cases  they  must  be  previously  warned  to  pro- 
vide themselves  accordingly. 

363.  At  the  first  call  for  guard-mounting,  the  men  warned  for  duty 
turn  out  on  their  company  parades  for  inspection  by  the  First  Ser- 
geants; <ind  at  the  second  call,  repair  to  the  regimental  or  garrison 
parade,  conducted  by  the  First  Sergeants.  Each  detachment,  as  it  ar- 
rives, will,  under  the  direction  of  the  Adjutant,  take  post  oh  the  left  of 
the  one  that  preceded  it,  in  open  order,  arms  shouldered  and  bayonets 
fixed ;  the  supernumeraries  five  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  men  of  their 
respective  companies  ;  the  First  Sergeants  in  the  rear  of  them.  The 
Sergeant-Major  will  dress  the  ranks,  count  the  files,  verify  the  details,

and  inspects  his  guard.  When  there  is  no  commissioned  officer  on  tho 
guard,  the  Adjutant  will  iuspec.t  it.  During  inspection,  the  band  will 
play. 

366.  The  inspection  ended,  the  officer  of  the  guard  takes  post  aa 
though  the  guard  were  a  company  of  a  battalion,  in  open  order,  under 
review;  at  the  same  time,  also,  the  officers  of  the  day  will  take  ];»ost  in 
front  of  the  centre  of  the  guard  ;  the  old  officers  of  the  diiy  three  paces 
on  the  right  of  the  new  officers  of  the  day,  one  pace  retired. 

307.  The  Adjutant  will  now  command, 

.      1.  Pa7-ac?c— Rest  !     2.  Troop— Beat  off ! 
when  the  music,  })eginning  on  the  right,  will  beat  down  the  line  in  front 
of  the  officer  of  the  guard  to  th£  left,  and  back  to  its  place  On  the  right, 
where  it  will  cease  to  play.  " 

368.  The  Adjutant  tlien  commands,  '    . 

1.  Atieniion!     2.  Shoidder — Arjis  !     3.   Close  order — March!. 

At  the  word  "  close  order,"  the  officer  will  face  about;  at  "march," 
resume  his  post  in  line.     The  Adjutant  then  commands, 

Present — Arms  !

"  Sir,  the  cfuard  is  formed."  The  new  officer  of  the  day,  after  acknow- 
ledging the  salute,  will  direct  the  Adjutant  to  march  .the  guard  in  re- 
view, or  by  flank  to  its.  post.  But  if  the  Adjutant  be  seniar  to  the  offi"- 
cer  of  the  day,  he  will  report  without  saluting  with  the  sword  then^  or 
when  marching  the  guard  in  review. 

369.  In  review,  the  guard  march  past  the  officer  of  the  day,'  accord- 
ing to  the  order  of  review,  conducted  b^^  the  Adjutant,  marching  on 
the  left  of  the  first  division  ;  tho  Sergeant-Majocon  the  left  of  the  last

by  the  Adjutant,  and  marched  to  the  brigade  parade  by  the  senior  offi- 
ce- of  tha  detail.  After  inspection  and  review,  the  officer  of  the  day 
directs  the  several  guards  to  their  respective  posts. 

373.  The  officer  of  the  old  guard  having  his  guard  paraded,  on  the 
approach  of  the  new  guard,  commands, 

Ficsent — Arms! 

'  374.  The  new  guard  will  march,  in  quick  time,  past  the  old  guard,  at 
s-hoxildered  arms,  otScers  saluting,  and  take  post,  four  paces  on  its  right,

386.  Sentinels  will  be  relieved  every -two  hours,  unless  the  state  of 
the  weatlier,  or  other  causes,  should  make  it  necessary  or  proper  that 
it  be  done  at  shorter  or  longer  intervals. 

387.  Eftch  relief,  before  mounting,  is  inspected  by  the  commander  of 
the  guard  or  of  its  post.  The  corporal  reports  to  him,  and  presents 
the  old  relief  on  its  return.

quire, and  present  the  same  at  headquarters. 

394.  Commanders  of  guards  leaving  their  posts  to  visit  their  senti- 
nels, or  on  other  duty,  are  to  mention  their  intention,  and  the  probable

all  guards  are  to  be  immediately  under  arms. 

399.  Inexperienced  oHicers  are  put  on  guard  as  supernumeraries,  for 
the  purpose  of  instruction.

except  by  an  oHleer  or  noncommissioned  officer  of  their  guard  or  party, 
the  officer  of  the  day,  or  the  comYnanding  officer;  in  which  case  the 
orders  will  be  immediately  notified  to  the  commander  of  the  guard  by 
the  officer  giving  them. 

'    401.  Sentinels  will  report  every  breach  of  orders  or  regulations  they 
are  instructed  to  enforce. 

402.  Sentinels  fnust  keep  themselves  on  the  alert,  observing  every 
thing  that  takes  place  within  sight  and  •hearing  of  their  post.     They 
will  carry  their  arms  habitually  at  support,  or  on  either  shoulder,  but 
will  never  quit  them.     In  wet  weather,  if  there  be  no  sentry-box,  they  . 
•vriil  secure  arms.         • 

403.  No  sentinel  shall  quit  his  post  or  hold  conversation  not  neces-

a  fire  take  place,  he  must  cry  "Fir^I"  adding  the  number  of  his  post. 
It  in  either  case  the  danger  be  great,  he  must  discharge  his  firelock  be- 
fore calling  out. 

400.  It  is  the  duty  of  a  sentinel  to  repeat  all  calls  made  from  posts 
more  distant  from  the  main  body  of  the  guard  than  his  own,  and  no 
sentinel  will  be  posted  so  distant  as  not  to  be  heard  by  the  guard,  cither 
directly  or  through  other  sentinels. 

407.  Sentinels  will  present  arms  to  general  and  field  officers,  to  the 
officer  of  the  day,  and  to  the  commanding'  officer  of  the  post.  To  all 
ot'ier  officers  they  Aviil  carry  arms. 

4iP8.  When  a  sentinel  in  his  sentry-box  sees  an  officer  approaching,

GUAur>».  43 

bringing  the  left  hand   briskly  to   the  musket,   as  high  as  the  right 
shoulder. 

409.  The  sentinel  at  any  post  of  the  guard,  when  he  sees  any  body 
of  troops,  or  an  officer  entitlad  to  compliment,  approach,  must  call 
*'Turn  out  the  guard!"  and  announce  who  approaches. 

410.  Guards  do  not  turn  out  as  a  matter  of  compliment  after  sunset ; 
but  sentinels  ■vyil,  \yhen  officers  in  uniform  approach,  pay  them  proper 
attention,  by  facing  to  the  proper  front,  and  standing  steady  at  shoul- 
dered arms.  This  will  be  observed  until  the  evening  is  so  far  advanced 
that  the  sentinels  begin  challenging. 

411.  After  retreat  (or  the  hour  appointed  by  the  commandijig officer), 
until  broad  daylight,  a  sentinel  challenges  every  person  who  appronches 
liim,  taking,  at  the  same  time  the  position  of  arms  port.  He  will  suf- 
fer no  person  to  come  nearer  than  within  reach  of  his  bayonet,  until  the

ARTICLE  XXXVI. 

TROOPS  IN   CAMPAIGN.     •• 

ORGANIZATION    OP   AN    ARMY    IN    THE    FIELD. 

461.  The  formation  by  divisions  is  the  basis  of  the  organization  and 
administration  of  armies  in  the  field. 

462.  A  division  consists  usually  of  two  or  three  brigades,  either  of 
infantry  or  cavalry,  and  troops  of  other  corps  in  the  necessary  propor- 
tion. 

463.  A  brigade  is  formed  of  two  or  more  regiments.  The  first  num- 
ber takes  the  right. 

464.  Mixed  brigades  are  sometimes  formed  of  infantry  and  light  cav- 
alry, especially  for  the  advance  guards. 

465.  As  the  troops  arrive  at  the  rendezvous,  the  general  commanding- 
in-chief  will  organize  them  into  brigades  and  divisions. 

466.  I'he  light  cavalry  .is  employed  as  flankers  and  partizans,  and 
generally  for  all  service  out  of  the  line. 

467.  Heavy  cavalry  belongs  to  the  reserve,  and  is  covered,  when  ne- 
cessary, in  marches,  camps,  or  bivouacs,  by  light  troops,  or  infantry  of 
the  line. 

468.  The  arrangement  of  the  troops  on  parade  and  in  order  of  battle 
is — 1st,  the  light  infantry  ;  2d,  infantry  of  the  line;  3d,  light  cavalry  ; 
4th,  cavalry  of  the  line;  5th,  heavy  cavalry.  The  troops  of  the  artil- 
lery and  engineers  are  in  the  centre  of  the  brigades,  divisions,  or  corps 
to  which  they  are  attached  ;  marines  take  the  left  of  other  infantry ; 
volunteers  uhd  militia  take  the  left  of  regular  tro{>p8  of  the  same  arm, 
and  among  themselves,  regiments  of  volunteers  or  militia  of  the  same 
arm  take  place  by  lot.  This  arrangement  is  varied  by  the  general  com- 
manding in-chief,  as  the  circumstances  of  war  render  expedient. 

469.  Brigades  in  divisions,  and  divisions  in  the  army,  are  numbered 
from  right  to  left;  but  in  reports  of  military  operations,  brigades  and 
divisions  are  designated  by  the  nanje  of  the  general  commanding  t'bem. 

470.  The  order  of  regiments  in  brigades  and  of  brigades  in  divisions 
may  be  changed  by  the  commander  of  the  division  for  important  rea- 
sons, such  as  the  weakness  of  some  corps,  or  to  relieve  one  from  march- 
ing too  long  at  the  rear  of  the  column.  Such  changes  must  be  reported 
to  the  general  commanding-in-chief. 

471.  The  general  commanding-in-chief  assigns  the  generals  of  divi- 
sions and  of  brigades  to  their  respective  commands,  when  the  assign- 
ment is  not  made  by  the  Department  of  War. 

472.  The  general  of  brignae  ii^spects  his  troops  in  detail,  by  compa- 
nies, when  ho  takes  the  command  artd  at  the  opening  of  th»  campaign, 


CONXIIIBUTIONI — ORDRai,rEi.  f»l 

ivnd  as  often  as  may  be  necessary  to  ascertain  exactly  theireoodition. 
Tlie  general  of  division  makes  similar  inspections  when  he  thinks  pro- 
per. At  th^ge  inspections  the  generals  examine  the  arms,  clothing, 
equipments,  harness,  horses,  &c. ;  direct  the  necessary  repairs,  and  de- 
eignato  the  men  and  horses  to  remain  in  depot,  or  march  with  the  train. 

473.  Reports  of  inspections  are  made  by  the  general  of  brigade  to 
the  general  of  divisioa,  and  by  the  general  of  division  to  the  general 
commanding-in  chief. 

474.  Daring  marches  and  all  active  operations,  generals  of  brigade 
l^ecp  themselves  exactly  informed,  b.  reports  of  corps  and  by  their  in- 
spections, of  Uie  actual  strength  of  the  regiqaents,  so  as  always,  and 
especially  after  an  engagrntient,  to  make  accurate  returns  to  the  general 
of  division. 

475.  Staff  officers  and  officers  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  according 
to  the  nature  of  the  service,  are  assigned  to  the  headquarters  of  ar- 
mies and  divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  by  order  of  the  general  com- 
manding in-chief,  when  the  distribution  of  these  officers  has  not  been 
regulated  by  the  War  Department.  The  necessary  staff  will  be  assign- 
ed to  commanders  of  brigades. 

470.  When  an  Engineer  or  other  officer  is  charged  with  directing  an 
expedition  or  making  a  reconnoisance,  without  having  command  of  the 
escort,  the  commander  of  th.*  escort  shall  consult  him  on  all  the  arrange- 
ments necessary  to  secure  the  success  of  the  operation. 

477.  Staff  officers,  and  commanders  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  re- 
P')rt  to  their  immediate  commanders  the  state  of  the  supplies,  and  what- 
ever concerns  the  service  under  their  direction,  and  receive  their  ordera, 
and  communicate  to  them  those  they  receive  from  their  superiors  in 
their  own  corps. 

478.  The  senior  officer  of  engineers,  of  artillery,  and  the  departments 
of  the  general  staff  serving  aK  the  chief  headquarters  in  the  field,  will 
transmit  to  the  bureau'of  his  department  at  Richmond,  at  the  close  of 
the  campaign,  and  such  other  times  as  the  commander  in  the  field  may 
approve,  a  full  report  of  the  operations  of  his  department,  and  what- 
ever infurntation  to  improve  its  service  he  may  be  able  to  furnish. 

The  report  of  the  officer  of  engineers  will  embrace  plans  of  military 
works  ex.^cuted  during  the  campaign,  and,  in  case  of  siege,  a  journal  of 
the  attack  or  defence, 

CONTRIBUTIONS. 

470.  Wlien  the  wants  of  the  army  absolutely  require  it,  and  in  other 
case^,  under  special  instructions  from  the  War  Department,  the  general 
commanding  the  army  may  levy  contributions  in  money  or  kind  on  the 
enemy's  country  occupied  by  the  troops.  No  other  commander  can  levy 
such  contributions  without  written  authority  from  the  general  com- 
mandingia  chief. 

ORDERLIES. 

480.  At  the  opening  of  a  campaign,  the  commander  of  an  army  de- 
termines and  announces  in  orders  the  number  of  orderlies,  mounted  or 
foot,  for  the  Generals,  and  the  corps  or  regiments  by  which  they  are  to 
be  iiupplied,  and  the  periods  at  which  they  shall  be  relieved. 

481.  In  marches,  the  mou.nted  orSerlies  follow  the  Generals,  and 


52  DEPOTS — QAMPS. 

perform  the  duty  of  escorts,  or  march  with  orderlies  on  foot  at  the  head 
of  the  division  or  brigade. 

482.  The  staff  oflScer  who  distributes  the  orderlies  to  their  posts  sends 
with  them  a  note  of  the  time  and  place   of  departure  ;  those  relieved 
receive  a  like  note  from  the  staff  officer  at  headquarters. 
-  483.  Mounted  soldiers  are  to  be  employed  to  carry  dispatches  only  in 
special  and  urgent  cases. 

484.  The  precise  time  when  the  dispatch  is  sent  off,  and  the  rate  at 
which  it  is  to  be  conveyed,  are  to  be  written  clearly  on  the  covers  of  all 
letters  transmitted  by  a  mounted  orderly,  and  the  necessary  instruo- 
tions  to  him,  and  the  rate  of  travel  going  and  returning,  are  to  be  dis- 
tinctly explained  to  him.* 

.  *  .  DEPOTS. 

485.  The  grand  depots  of  an  army  are  establiahed  where  the  military 
operations  would  not  expose  them  to  be  brcken  up.  Smaller  depots  are 
organized  for  the  divisions  and  the  several  arms.  They  are  command- 
ed by  officers  temporarily  disabled  for  field  service,  or  by  other  officers 
when  necessary,  and  comprise,  as  much  as  possible,  the  hospitals  and 
depots  for  convalescents.  When  conveijiently  placed,  tliey  serve  as 
points  for  the  halting  and  assembling  of  detachments.  They  receive 
the  disabled  from  tlie  corps  on  the  march  ;  and  the  officers  in  command 
of  the  depots  send  with  the  detachments  to  the  army  those  at  the  depots 
who  have  become  fit  for  service, 

CAMPS. 

486.  Camp  is  the  place  were  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in  huts, 
or  in  bivouac.  Cantonments  are  the  inhabited  places  which  troops 
occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in  barracks.  The  camping-party  is  a 
detachment  detailed  to  prepare. a  camp. 

487.  Reconnoissances  should  precede  the  establishment  of  the  camp. 
For  a  camp  of  troops  on  the  march,  it  is  only  necessary  to  look  to  the 
health  and  comfort  of  the  troops,  the  facility  of  the  communications, 
the  convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  the-resources  in  provisions  and 
forage.  The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  camp  to  cover  a 
country,  or  one  designed  to  deceive  the  enemy  as  to  the  strength  of 
the  army,  must  bo  selected,  and  the  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in 
view. 

488.  The  camping-party  of  a  regiment  consists  of  the  regimental 
Quartermaster  and  Quartermaster.Sergeant,  and  a  Corporal  and  two 
men  per  company.  The  General  decides  whether  the  regiments  camp 
separately  or  together,  and  whether  the  police  guard  shall  accompany 
the  camping-party,  or  a  larger  escort  shall  be  sent. 

489.  Neither  baggage  nor  led  horses  are  permitted  to  move  with  the 
camping  party. 

490.  When  the  General  can  send  in  advance  to  prepare  tlio  camp,  he 
gives  his  instructions  to  the  chief  of  "the  Qartermiister's  Department, 
who  calls  on  the  regiment  for  their  camping-parties,  and  is  accompa- 
nied, if  necessary,  by  an  Engineer  to  propose  the  defences  and  commu- 
nications. 

491.  The  vwitering-places  are  <jsarained,  and  signals  placed  at  those 


cAMi>  01?  inpantrV.  53 

that  are  dangerous.  Any  work  required  to  make  them  of  easier  access 
13  done  by  the  police  guard  or  Quartermaster's  men.  Sentinels,  to  be 
relieved  by  the  guards  of  the  regiment  when  they  come  up,  are  placed 
by  the  camping-party  over  the  water  if  it  is  scarce,  and  over  the  houses 
and  stores  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

492.  If  the  camping-party  does  not  precede  the  regiment,  the  Quar- 
termaster attends  to  these  things  as  soon  as  the  regiment  reaches  the 
camp. 

493.  On  reaching  the  ground,  the  infantry  form  on  the  color  front ; 
the  cavalry  in  rear  of*  its  camp'. 

494.  The  Generals  establish  the  troops  in  camp  as  rapidly  as  possible, 
particularly  after  long,  f\itiguing  marches. 

495.  The  number  of  men  to  be  furnished  for  guards,  pickets,  and 
orderlies;  the  fatigue  parties  to  be  sent  for  supplies;  the  work  to  bo 
done,  and  the  strengtii  of  the  working  parties  ;  the  time  and  place  for 
issues  ;  the  hour  af  marching.  Sec,  are  then  announced  by  the  Briga- 
dier Generals  to  the  Colonels,  and  by  them  to  the  field  officers — the 
AcJ^itant  and  Captains  formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Ser- 
geants taking  post  behind  their  Captains-.  The  Adjutant  then  makes 
the  details,  and  the  First  Sergeants  warn  the  men.  The  regimental 
officer  of  the  day  forms  thi3  picket,  and  sends  the  guards  to  their  posts. 
The  colors  are  then  planted  at  the  centre  of  the  color  line,  and  the  arms 
arc  stacked  on  the  line  ;  the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies^,  and  the 
working  parties  form  in  rear  of  the  arms ;  the  men  not  on  detail  pitch 
the  tents. 

49G.  If  the  camp  is  near  the  enemy,  the  picket  remains  under  arms 
nntil  the  return  of  the  fatigue  parties,  and^  if  necessary,  is  reinforced 
by  details  from  each  company. 

497.  In  the  cavalry,  each  troop  moves  a  little  in  rear  of  the  point  at. 
which  its  horses  are  to  be  secured,  and  forms  in  one  rank;  the  men  then 
dismount;  a  detail  is  made  to  hold  the  horses  ;  the  rest  stack  their  arms 
and  fix-  the  picket  ropei  aft-er  the  horses  are  attended  to,  the  tents  are' 
pitched,  and  each  horseman  places  his  carbine  at  the  side  from  the 
weather,  and  hangs  his  ^;abre  and  bridle  on  it. 

498.  The  standard  is  then  carried  to  the  tent  of  the  Colonel. 

499.  The  terms  front,  flank,  right,  left,  file,  and  rank,  have  the  same 
meaning  when  applied  to  camps  as  to  the  order  of  battle. 

500.  The  front  of  the  camp  is  usually  equal  to  tire  front  of  the  troops. 
The  tents  are  arranged  in  ranks  and  files.  The  number  of  ranks  varies 
with  the  strength  of  the  companies  and  the  size  of  the  tents. 

501.  No  officer  will  be  allowed  to  occupy  a  house,  although  vacant 
and  on  the  ground  of  his  camp,  except  by  permission  of  the  commander 
of  the  brigade,  who  shall  report  it  to  the  commander  of  the  division. 

502.  The  staff  officer  charged, with  establishing  the  camp  will  desig- 
nate the  place  for  the  shambles.     The  offal  will  be  buried. 

CAMP   OF    INFANTRY. 

503.  Each  company  has  its  tents  in  two  files,  facing  on  a  street  per- 
pendicular to  the  color  line.  The  width  of  the  street  depends  on  the 
front  of  the  camp,  but  should  not  be  less  than  five  paces.  The  interval 
between  the  ranks  of  tents  is  two  paces;  between  the  files  of  tents  of 
adjacent  companies,  two  paces  *,  between  regimems,  twenty-two  paces. 


54  CAMt  OP  OAVALBY. 

504.  The  color  line  is  ten  paces  in  front  of  the  front  rank  of  tenti. 
The  kitchens  are  twenty  paces  behind  the  rear  rank  of  company  tents  ; 
the,  non-commissioned  staff  and  sutler,  twenty  paces  in  rear  of  the 
kitchen;  the  company  ofecers,  twenty  paces  farther  in  rear;  and  the 
field  and  staff,  twenty  paces  in  rear  of  the  company  officers. 

605.  The  company  officers  are  in  rear  of  their  respective  companies  ; 
the  Captains  on  the  right, 

506.  The  Colonel  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  are  near  the  centre  of  the 
line  of  field  and  staff;  the  Adjutant,  a  Major  and  Surgeon,  on  the  right ; 
the  Quartermaster,  a  Major  and  Assistant  Surgeon,  en  the  left.,    - 

507.  The  police  guard  is  at  the  centre  of  the  line  of  the  noncommis- 
sioned  staff,  the  tents  facing  to  the  front,  the  stj^cks  of  arjns  on  the  left. 

508.  The  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  about  200  paces  in 
front  of  the  color  line,  and  opposite  the  centre  of  the  regiment,  or  on  the 
best  ground  ;  the  prisoners'  tent  about  four  paces  in  rear.  In  a  regi- 
ment of  the  second  line,  the  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  200 
paces  in  rear  of  the  line  of  its  field  and  staff. 

509.  The  horses  of  the  staff  officers  and  of  the  baggage  train  are 
twenty-five  paces  in  rear  of  the  tents  of  the  field  and  staff;  the  wagons 
are  parked  on  the  same  line,  and  the  men  of  the  train  camped  near 
them. 

510.  The  sinks  of  the  men  are  150  paces  in  front  of  the  color  line — 
those  of  the  officers  100  paces  va  rear  of  the  train.  Both  arc  concealed 
by  bushes.  When  convenient,  the  sinks  of  the  men  iijay  be  placed  in 
the  rear  or  on  the  flank.  A  portion  of  the  earth  dug  out  for  sinks  to  be 
thrown  l»ack  occatsjonally. 

5il.  The  front  of  the  camp  of  a  regiment  of  1000  men  in  two  ranks 
will  be  40U  paces,  or  one-fifth  less  paces  than  the  number  of  files,  if  tlie 
camp  is  to  have  the  same  front  as  the  troops  in  order  of  battle.  But 
the  front  may  be  reduced  to  190  paces  by  narr.»wing  the  company 
streets  to  five  paces  ;  and  if  it  be  desirable  to  reduce  the  front  still  more, 
the  tents  of  companies  may  bo  pitched  in  single  file — those  of  a  divibion 
facing  oD  ths  same  street. 

CAMP   OF   CAVALRT. 

512.  In  the  cavalry,  each  company  has  one  file  of  tents — th«  tents 
opening  on  the  street  facing  the  left  of  the  camp. 

513.  The  horses  of  each  compriuy  are  placed  in  a  single  file,  facing 
the  opening  of  the  tents,  and  are  fastened  to  pickets  planted-  firmly  in 
the  ground,  from  three' to  six  paces  from. the  tents  of  the  troops. 

514.  The  interval  between  the  file  of  tents  should  be  such,  that,  the 
regiment  being  broken  into  column  of  companies,  each  company  should 
be  on  the  extension  of  the  line  on  which  the  horses  are  to  be  picketed. 

515.  The   streets  separating    the  squadrons   are   wider   than  th^se^^ 
between  the  companies  by  the  interval  separating  squadrons  inline; 
these  intervals  are   kept   free   from  any    obstruction  throughout  the 
camp. 

516.  The  horses  of  the  rear  rank  are  placed  on  the  left  of  those  of 
their  file  leaders. 

517.  The  horses  of  the  Lieutenants  are  placed  on  the  right  of  their 
platoons  ;  those  of  the  Captains  on  the  right  of  the  company. 

518.  Each  hors^  occupies  a  sp^ec  of  f\bout  two  paces.    The  number

CAMP   OF    ARTILLERF. 

525.  The  artillery  is  encamped  near  the  troops  to  which  it  ia  attached, 
so  as  to  be  protected  from  attack,  and  to  contribute  to  the  defence  of 
the  camp.  Sentinels  fur  the  park  are  furnished  by  the  artillery,  and, 
when  necessary,  by  the  other  troopis.     . 

526.  For  a  liattery  of  six  pieces,  the  tents  are  in  three  files — one  for 
each  section  ;  distance  between  the  ranks  of  tents,  15  paces;  tents 
opening  to  the  front.  The  horses  of  each  section  are  picketed  in  one 
file,  10  paces  to  the  left  of  the  file  of  tents.  In  the  horse  artillery,  or  if 
the  number  of  horses  makes  it  necessary,  the  horses  are  in  two  files,  on 
the  right  and  left  of  the  file  of  tents.  The  kitchens  {ye  25  paces  in 
front  of  the  front  rank  of  tents.  The  tents  of  the  officers  are  in  the

BIVOUACS. 

528.  A  regiment  of  cavalry  being  in  order  of  battle,  in  rear  of  tho^ 
ground  to  be  occupied,  the  Colonel  breaks  it  by  platoons  to  the  right. 
The  horses  of  each  platoon  are  placed  in  a  single  row,  and  fastened  as 
prescribed  for  camps  ;  near  tho  enemy,  they  remain  saddled  all  night, 
with  slackened  girths.  The  arms  are  at  first  stacked  in  rear  of  e.ach 
row  of  horses,  the  sabres,  wiih  the  bridles  hung  on  them,  are  placed 
against  the  stacks. 


56  CANTONMENTS. 

529.  The  forage  is  placed. on  th«  right  of  each  row  of  horse?.  Two 
stable-guards  for  each  platoon  watch  the  horses. 

530.  A  fire  for  each  platoon  is  made  near  the  color  line,  20  paces  to 
the  left  of  the  row  of.  horses.  A  shelter  is  made  for  the  men  around 
the  fire,  if  possible,  and  each  man  then  stands  his  arms  and  bridle 
against  the  shelter. 

531.  The  fires  and  shelter  for  the  officers  are  placed  in  rear  of  the 
line  of  those  for  the  men. 

532.  The  intervals  between ^the  squadrons  must  be  without  obstruc- 
tion throughout  the  whole  depth  of  the  bivouac. 

533.  The  interval  between  the  shelters  siiould  be  such  that  the  pla- 
toons can  take  up  a  line  of  battle  freely  to  the  front  or  rear. 

534.  The  distance  from  the  enemy  decides  the  manner  in  which  the 
horses  are  to  be  fed  and  led  to  w^ater.  When  it  is  permitted  to  unsad- 
dle, the  saddles  are  placed  in  the  rear  of  the  horses. 

535.  In  infantry,  the  fires  are  made  in  rear  of  the  color  line,  on  the 
ground  that  would  be  occitpied  by  the  tents  in  camp.  The  companies 
are  placed  around  them,  and,  if  possible,  construct  shelters.  When 
liable  to  surprise,  the  infantry  should  stand  to  arms  at  daybreak,  and 
the  cavalry  mount  until  the  return  of  the  reconnoiteripig  parties.  If 
the  arms  are  to  be  taken  apart  to  clean,  it  must  be  done  by  detach- 
ments, successively. 

CANTONMENTS. 

536.  The  cavalry  should  be  placed  under  shelter  whenever  the  dis- 
tance from  the  enemy,  and  from  the  ground  where  the  troops  are  to 
form  for  battle,  permit  it.  Taverns  and  farm  house?,  with  large  stables 
and  free  access,  are  selected  for  quartering  them. 

537.  The  Colonel  indicates  the  place  of  assembling  in  case  of  alarm. 
It  should  generally  be  outside  the  cantonment ;  the  egress  from  it  should 
be  free,  the  retreat  upon  the  ot>lier  positions  secure,  and  roads  leading 
to  it  on  the  side  of  the  enemy  obstructed. 

538.  The  necessary  orders  .beijng  given,  as  in  establishing  a  camp,  tlie 
picket  and  grand  guards  are  posted.  A  sentinel  may  be  placed  on  a 
steeple  or  high  house,  and  then  the  troops  are  marched  to  the  quarters. 
The  men  sleep  in  the  stables,  if  it  is  thought  necessary. 

539.  The  above  applies  in  the  main  to  infantry.  Near  the  enemy, 
companies  or  platoons  should  be  collected,  as  much  as  possible,  in  the 
same  houses.  If  companies  must  be  separated,  they  should  be  divided 
by  platoons  or  squads.     All  take  arms  at  daybreak. 

540.  When  cavalry  and  infantry  canton  together,  the  latter  furnish 
the  guards  by  night,  and  the  former  by  day. 

541.  Troops  cantoned  in  presence  of  the  enemy,  should  be  covered 
by  advanced  guards  and  natural  or  artificial  obstacles.  Cantonments 
.taken  during  a  cessation  of  hostilities,  should  be  established  in  rear  of 
a  line  of  defence,  and  in  front  of  the  point  on  which  the  troops  would 
concentrate  to  receive  an  attack.  The  General  commanding-in-chief 
assigns  the  limits  of  their  cantonments  to  the  divisions,  the  comman- 
ders of  divisions  to  brigades,  and  the  commanders  of  brigades  post 
their  regiments.  ,  The  position  for  each  corps  in  case  of  attack  is  care- 
fully pointed  out  by  the  Generals. 


HEADQUARTERS— I6SVES.  '  57 

HEADQUARTERS. 

542.  Generals  take  post  at  the  centre  of  their  commands,  on  the  main 
channels  of  communication.  If  troops  bivouac  in  presence  of  the  en- 
^my,  the  Generals  bivouac  with  them. 

MILITARY   EXERCISES. 

543.  When  troops  remain  in  camp  or  cantonment  many  days,  the 
Colonels  require  them  to  be.  exercised  in  the  s^fhool  of  the  battalion  and 
aquadron.  Regiments  and  brigades  encamped  by  division  are  not  uni- 
ted for  drills  without  the  permission  of  the  Gejieral  of  division.  The 
troops  must  not  be  exercised  at  the  firings  without  the  authority  of  the 
General  Commanding-in-chief.  The  practice  of  the  drums  must  never 
begin  with  the  "general,",  or  the  "march  of  the  regiment;"  nor  the 
trumpets  with  the  sound  "  to  horse."  The  hour  for  practice  is  always 
announced. 

ORDERS. 

544.  In  the  field,  verbal  orders  and  important  sealed  orders  are  car- 
ried by  officers,  and,  if  possible,  by  staff  officers.  When  orders  are 
carried  by  orderlies,  .the  place  and  time  o\  departure  will  be  marked  on 
them,  and  place  and  time  of  delivery  on  the  receipt. 

DISPATCHES. 

545.  Dispatches,  particularly  for  distant  corps,  should  be  entrusted 
only  to  officers  to  whom  their  contents  can  be  confided.  In  a  country 
occupied  by  the  enemy,  the  bearer  of  dispatches  should  be  accompanied 
by  at  least  two  of  the  best  mounted  men  ;  should  avoid  towns  and  vil- 
lages, and  the  main  roads  ;  rest  as  little  as  possible,  and  only  at  out-of- 
the-way  places.  Where  there  is  dawger,  he  should  send  one  of  the  men 
in  advance,  and  be  always  ready  to  destroy  his  dispatches.  He  should 
be  adroit  in  answering  questions  about  the  army,  and  not  be  intimida- 
ted by  threats. 

WATCHWORDS. 

546.  The  parole  and  countersign  are  issued  daily  from  the  principal 
headquarters  of  the  command.  The  countersign  is  given  to  the  senti- 
nels and  non-commissioned  officers  of  the  guards;  the  parole  to  the 
commissioned  officers  of  guards.  The  parole  is  usually  the  name  of  a 
General  ;  the  countersign  of  a  battle. 

547.  When  the  parole  and  countersign  cannot  be  communicated  daily 
to  a  post  or  detachment  which  ought  to  use  the  same  as  the  main  body, 
a  series  of  words  -mny  be  sent  for  some  days  in  advance. 

548.  If  the  countersign  is  lost,  or  one  of  the  gifard  deserts  with  it, 
the  commander  on  the  spot  will  substitute  another,  and  report  the  case 
at  once  to  the  proper  superior,  that  immediate  notice  may  be  given  to 
headquarters. 

ISSUES. 

549.  At  what  time  and  for  what  period  issues  are  made,  must  depend 
on  circumstances,  and  be  regulated  in  orders.  When  an  army  is  not 
moving,  rations  are  generally  issued  for  four  days  at  a  time.  Issues  to 
the  companies  of  a  regiment,  and  the  fatigues  to  receive  them,  are  su- 


68  •  ,  ROSTER.       ■  , 

perintended  by  an  officer  detailed  from  the  regiment.  Issues  are  made 
from  one  end  of  the  line  to  the  other,  beginning  on  the  right  and  left 
alternately.  An  issue  commenced  on  one  regiment  will  not  be  inter- 
rupted for  another  entitled  to  precedence  if.it  had  been  in  place*. 

THE    ROSTER,    OR    DETAILS   FOR   SERVICE. 

650.  The  duties  performed  by  detail  are  of  three  classes.  The  jirst 
class  compVises,  l^t,  grand  guards  and  outposts;  2d,  interior  guards,  as 
of  magazine,  hospital,  4c. ;  3d,  orderlies  ;  4th,  police  guards. 

The  second  class  comprises,  1st,  detachments  to  protect  laborers  on 
military  works,  as  field  works,  communications,  &c. ;  2d,  working  par- 
ties on  such  works  ;  3d,  detachments  to  protect  fatigues. 

The  third  class  are  all  fatigues,  without  arms,  in  or  out  of  camp. 

In  the  cavalry,  stable  guards  form  a  separate  roster,  and  count  before 
fatigue. 

551.  The  rosters  are  distinct  for  each' class.,  Officers  ave  named  on 
them  in  the  order  of  rank.  The  details  are  taken  in  succession  in  the 
order  of  the  roster,  beginning  at  the  head. 

552.  Lieutenants  form  one  roster,  and  First  and  Second  Lieutenants 
are  entered  on  it  alternately^  The  senior  First  Lieutenant  is  the  first 
on  the  roster;  the  senior  Second  Lieutenant  is  the  second,  &c.  -  The 
Captains  form  one  roster,  and  are  exempt  from  fatigues,  except  to  su- 
perintend issues.  A  captain  commanding  a  battalion  temporarily  is 
exempt  from  detail,  and  duty  falling  to  him  passes.  Liieutenant-Colo- 
nels  and  Majors  are  on  one  roster.  They  may  be  detailed  for  duties 
of  the  first  and  second  classes,  when  the  importance  of  the  guards  and 
detachments  requires  it.  Their  roster  is  kept  at  division  and  brigade 
headquarters.  ■  In  the  company,  Sergeants,  Corporals,  and  privates 
form  distinct  rosters. 

553.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  take  duties  of 
the  first  class  in  the  order  stated,  viz  :  the  first  for  the  detail,  takes  the. 
grand  guards  ;  the  next,  the  interior  guards  ;  the  last,  the  police  guards  ; 
and  the  same  rule  in  regard  to  the  details  and  duties  of  the  second 
class.  In  the  details  for  the  tiiird  class,  the  senior  officer- takes  the 
largest  party.     The  party  first  for  detail  takes  the  service  out  of^camp. 

554.  When  the  officer  whose  tour  it  is,  is  not  able  to  take  it,  or  is  not 
present  at  the  hour  of  marching,  the  next  after  him  takes  it.  When  a 
guard  has  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or  an  interior  guard  has  reached 
its  post,  the  officer  whose  tour  it  was  cannot  then  take  it.  He  ta'kes  the 
tour  of  the, officer  who  has  taken  his.  When  an  offit^er  is  prevented  by 
sickness  from  taking  his  tour,  it  passes.  These  rules  apply  equally  to 
non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers. 

555.  Duties  of  the  first  and  second  classes  are  credited  on  the  roster 
when  the  guards  or  detachments  have  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or 

-an  interior  guard  has  reached  its  post;  fatigue  duties  when  the  parties 
have  passed  the  chain  or  begun  the  duties  in  camp. 

556.  Every  officer,  non-commissioned  officer,  or  soldier  on  duty  of  the 
first  class,  or  who  is  of  the  next  detail  for  such  duty,  takes,  ,when  re- 
lieved, the  duty  of  the  second  or  third  class  that  has  fallen  to  him  du- 
ring that  time,  unless  he  has  marched  for  detachment  of  more  than 
twenty  four  hours.  ' 

557.  Soldiers  march  with  knapsacks  on  all  duties  of  the  first  class  ; 


POLICE   GUAM).  69 

and  with  arms  and  equipments  complete  on  all  working  parties  out  of 
the  camp,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  In  the  cavalry,  horses  are  packed 
for  all  mounted  service. 

558.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men,  and  those  whose  horses  are  not 
in  order,  are  preferred  for  the  detail  for  dismounted  service.  Those 
who  are  mounted  are  never  emplojed  on  those  services,  if  the  number 
of  the  other  class  are  sufficient. 

559.  Every  non  commi^-8i()ned  officer  and  soldier  in  the  cavalry  de- 
tailed for  dismounted  service  must,  before  he  marches,  take  to  the  First 
Sergeant  of  the  troop,  or  Sergeant  of  his  squad,  his  horse  equipments 
and  his  valise  ready  packed.  In  case  of  alarm,  the  First  Sergeant  sees 
that  the  horses  of  these  men  are  equipped  and  led  to  the  rendezvous. 

560.  These  rules  in  regard  to  the  roster  apply  also  to  service  in  gar- 
rison. 

POLICE    GUARD. 

561.  In  each  regiment  a  police  guard  is  detailed  every  day,  consist- 
ing of  two  Sergeants,  three  Corporals,  two  drummers,  and  men  enough 
to  furnish  the  required  sentinels  and  patrols.  The  men  are  taken  from 
all  the  companies, 'from  each  in  proportion  to  its  strength.  The  guard 
is  commanded  by  a  Lieutenant,  under  the  supervision  of  a  Captain,  as 
regimental  officer  of  the  day.  It  furnishes  ten  sentinels  jat  the  camp  ; 
one  over  the  «rms  of  the  guard  ;  one  at  the  Colonel's  tent ;  three  on 
the  color  front — one  of  them  over  the  colors;  three,  fifty  paces  in  rear 
of  the  field  officers'  tents  ;  and  one  on  each  flank,  between  it  and  the 
next  regiment.  If  it  is  a  flank  regiment,  one  more  sentinelis  posted  on 
the  outer  flank.  - 

562.  An  advanced  post  is  detached  from  the  police  guard,  composed 
of  a  Sergeant,  a  Corporal,  a  drummer,  and  nine  men  to  furnish  senti- 
nels and  the  guard  over  the  prisoners.  The  men  are  first  of  the  guard 
roster  from  each  company.  The  men  of  the  advanced  post  must  not 
leave  it  under  any. pretext.  Their  meals  .ire  sent  to  the  post.  The  ad- 
vanced post  furnishes  three  sentinels;  two  a  few  paces  in  front  of  the 
post,  opposite  the  right  and  left  wing  of  the  regiment,  posted  so  as  to 
see  as  far  as  possible  to  the  front,  and  one  over  the  arms. 

563.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men  are  employed  in  preference  on 
the  police  guard.  The  mounted  men  on  guard  are  sent  in  succession, 
a  part  at  a  time,  to  groom  their  horses.  The  advanced  post  is  always 
formed  of  mounted  men. 

564.  In  each  company,  a  Corporal  has  charge  of  the  stable-guard. 
His  tour  begins  at  retreat,  and  ends  at  morning  stable-call.  The  stable- 
guard  is  large  enough  to  relieve  the  men  on  post  every  two  hours.  They 
sleep  in  their  tents,  and  are  called  by  the  Corporal  when  wanted.  At 
retreat  he  closes  the  streets  of  the  camp  wtth  cords,  or  uses  other  pre- 
cautions to  prevent  the  escape  ot  loose  horses. 

565.  The  officer  of  the  day  is  charged  with  the  order  and  cleanliness 
of  the  camp  ;  a  fatigue  is  furnished  to  him  when  the  number  ot  pris- 
oners is  insufficient  to  clean  the  camp.  He  has  the  calls  beaten  by  the 
drummer  of  the  guard. 

566.  The  police  guard  and  the  advanced  post  pay  the  same  honors  as 
other  guards.     They  take  arms  when  an  armed  body  approaches. 

567.  The  sentinel  over  the  colors  has  orders  not  to  permit  them  to 


60  I-OLICE    GUARD. 

be  moved,  except  in  presenbe  of  an  escort ;  to  let  no  one  touch  them 
but  the  color-bearer,  or  the  Sergeant  of  the  police  guard  when  he  is 
accompanied  by  two  armed  men. 

568.  The  sentinels. on  the  color  front  permit  no,  soldier  to  take  arms 
from  the  stacks,  esc&pt  by  order  of  some  officer,  or  a  non-commissioned 

.officer  of  the  guard.     The  sentinel *at  the  Colonel's  tent  has  orders  to 
warn  him,  day  or  night,  of  any  unusual  movement  in  or  about  the  camp. 

569.  The  sentinels  on  the  front,  flanks,  and  rear,  see  that  no  soldier 
leaves  camp  with  horse  or  arms,  unless  conducted  by  a  non-commis- 
sioned .officer.  They  prevent  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers 
from  passing  out  at  night,  except  to  go  to  the  sinks,  and  mark  if  they* 
return.  They  arrest,  at  any  time,  suspicious  persons  prowling  about  the 
camp;  and  at  ni^ht,  every  one~who  attempts  to  enter; even  the  soldiers 
of  other  corps.  Arrested  persons  are  sent  to  the  officer  of  the  guard, 
who  sends  them," if  necessary,  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 

.  570.  The  sentinels  on  the  front  of  the  advanced  post  have  ordiers  to 
permit  neither  non-commissioned  officers  or  soldiers  to  pass  the  line, 
without  reporting  at  the  advanced  post ;  to  warn  the  advanced  post  of 
the  approach  of  any  armed  body,  and  to  arrest  all  suspicious  persons. 
The  Sergeant  sends  persons  so  arrested  to  the  officer  of  the  guard,  and 
warns  him  of  the  approach  of  any  armed  body: 

571.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms  at  the  advanced  post  guards  the 
prisoners  and  keeps  sight  of  them,  and  suffers  no  one  to  converse  with 
them  without  permission.  They  are  only  permitted  to, go  to  the  sinks 
one  at  a  time,  and  under  a  sentinel.      '  . 

572.  If  any  one  is  to  be  passed  out. of  camp  at  night,  the  officer  of  the 
guard  sends  him  under  escort  to  the  advanced  post,  and  the  Sergeant 
of  the  post  has  him  passed  over  the  chain. 

573.  At  retreat,  the  officer  of  the  guard  has  the  roll  of  his  guard 
called,  and  inspect  arms,  to  see  that  they  are  loaded  and  in  order  ;.and 
visits  the  advanced  post  for  the  same  purpose.  The  Siergeant  of  the 
police  guard,  accompanied  by  two  armed  soldiers,  folds  the  colors  and 
lays-them  on  the  trestle  in  the  rear  of  the  arms.  He  sees  that  the  sut- 
ler's stores  are  closed,  and  the  men  leave  them,  and  that  the  kitchen 
fires  are  put  out  at  the  appointed  hour. 

574.  The  officer  of  the  day  satisfies  himself  frequently  during  the 
night  of  the  vigilance  of  the  police  guard  and  advanced  post.  He 
prescribes  patrols  and  rounds  to  be  made  by  the  officer  and  non-com- 
missioned officers  of  the  guard.  The  officer  of  the* guard  orders  them 
when  he  thinks  necessary.     He  visits  the  sentinels  frequently. 

575.  At  reveille,  the  police  guard  takes  arms  ;  the  officer  of  .the  guard 
inspects  it  and  the  advanced  post.     The  Sergeant  re-plants  the  colnrs  in 
place.     At  retreat  and  reveille  tbe  advanced  post  takes  artfts ;    the- 
Sergeant  makes  his  report  tO  the  officer  of  the  guard  when  he  visits  the 
post. 

576.  When  nece'ssary,  the  camp  is  covered  at  night  with  small  out- 
posts, forming,  a  double  chain  of  sentinels.  These  posfs  are  under  the 
orders  of  the  commander  of  the  police  guard,  and  are  visited  by  his  pat- 
rols and  rounds.  • 

577.  The  officer  of  the  guard  makes  his  report  of  his  tour  of  service, 
Including  the  advanced  post,  and  sends  it,  after  the  guard  is  marched 
ofi",  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 


'  POLICE   GUARD.  61 

578.  AVhen  the  regiment  marches,  the  men  of  the  police  guard  return 
to  their  companies,  except  those  of  the' advanced  post.  In  the  cavalry, 
at  the  sound  "  boot  and  saddle/'  the  officer  of  the' guard  sends  one-half 
the  men  to  saddle  and  pack ;  when  the  regiment  assembles,  all  the  men 
join  it. 

579.  When  the  camping  party  precedes  the  regiment,  and  the  new 
police  guard  marches  with  the  camping  party,  the  guard,  on  reaching' 
the  camp,  forms  i-n  line  thirty  paces  in  front  ef  the  centre  of  the  ground 
marked  for  the  regiment.     The  officer  of  the  guard  furnishes  the  senti- 
nels required  by  the  commander  of  the  camping  party. 

The  advanced  post  takes  its  station. 

580.  The  advanced  post  of  the  old  police  guard  takes  charge  of  the 
prisoners  on  the  march,  and  mjfrches,  bayonets  fixed,  at  the  centre  of 
the  regiment.  On  reaching  the  camp,  it  turns  over  the  prisoners  to  the 
new  advanced  post. 

581.  The  detail  for  the  picket  is  made  daily,  after  the  details  for  duty 
of  first  class,  and  from  the  next  for  detail  on  the  roster  of  that  class. 
It  is  designed  to  furnisii  detachments  and  guards  unexpectedly  called 
for  in  the  twenty-four  hours;  it  counts  as  a  tour  of  the  first  class  to 
those  who  have  marched  on  detachment  or  guard,  or  who  have  passed 
the  night  in  bivouac. 

582»  The  officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  of  the  picket 
are  at  all  times  dressed  and  equipped  ;  the  horses  are  saddled,  and 
knapsacks  and  valises  ready  to  be  put  on. 

583.  Detachments  and  guards  from  the  picket  are  taken  from  the 
head  of  the  picket  roll  in  each  company,^  and,  if  possible,  equally  from 
each  company.  .The  picket  of  a  regiment  is  composed  of  a  Lieutenant, 
two  Sergeants,  four  Corporals,  a  drummer,  and  about  forty  privates. 
For  a  smaller  force,  the  picket  is  in  proportion  to  the  strength  of  the 
detachment. 

584.  Officers  and  men  of- the  picket  who  march  on  detachment  or 
guard  before  retreat,  will  be  replaced. 

■  585.  The  picket  is  assembled  by  the  Adjutant  at  guard-mounting  ;  it 
is  posted  twelve  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  guard,  and  is  inspected  by  its 
own  commander.  When  the  guard  has  marched  in  review,  the  com- 
mandant of  the  picket  marches  it  to  the  left  of  the  police  guard,  where 
it  stacks  its  arms,  and  is  dismissed;  the  arms  are  under  charge  of  the 
sentinel  of  the  police  guard. 

586.  The  picket  is  only  assembled  by  the  orders  of  the  Colonel  or  of- 
ficer of  the  day.     It  forms  on  the  left  of  the  police  guard. 

587.  The  officer  of  the  day  requires  the  roll  of  the  picket  to  be  called 
frequently  during  the  day  ;  the  call  is  sounded  from  the  police  guard. 
At  roll-calls  and  inspections,- infantry  picjtets  assemble  with  knapsacks 
on ;  cavalry  on  foot.  The  picket  is  assembled  at  retreat ;  the  officer 
has  the  roll  called,  and  inspects  the  arms.  The  pickets  sleep  in  their 
tents,  but  without  undressing. 

588.  The  picket  does  not  assemble  at  night  except  in  cases  of  alarm, 
or  when  the  whole  or  a  part  is  to  march  ;  then  the  officer  of  the  day 
calls  the  officers,  the  latter  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  these 
the  men,  for  which  purpose  each  ascertains  the  tents  of  those  he  is  to 

^  call ;  they  are  assembled  without  beat  of  drum  or  other  noise.     At 
night,  cavalry  pickets^assemble  mounted.

589.  Pickets  rejoin  their  companies  whenever  the  regiment -is  under 
arms  for  review,  drill,  march,  or  battle. 

GRAND   GUARDS   AND   OTHER    OUTPOSTS. 

590.  Grand  guards  are  the  advanced  posts  of  a  camp  or  cantonment, 
and  should  cover  the  approaches  to  it.  Their  number,  strength  and 
position  are  regulated  Idj  the  commanders  of  brigades  ;  in  detached 
corps,  by  the  commanding  oflScer.  When  it  can  be,  the  grand  guards 
of  cavalry  and  inlantry  are  combined,  the  cavalry  furnishing  the  ad- 
vanced sentinels.  When  the  cavalry  is  vs^eak,  the  grand  guards  are  in- 
fantry, but  furnished  with  a  few  cavalry  soldiers,- to  get  and  carry  in- 
telligence of  the  enemy. 

591.  The  strength  of  a  grand  guard  ©f  a  brigade  will  depend  on  its 
object  and  the  strength  of  the  regiments,  the  nature  of  the  country,  the 
position  of  the  enemy,  and  the  disposition  of  the  inhabitants.  It  is 
usually  commanded  by  a  Captain. 

592.  Under  the  supervisions  of  the  Generals  of  Division  and  Brigade, 
the  grand  guards  are  specially  under  the  direcffon  of  a  field  officer  of 
the  day  in  each  brigade.  In  case  of  necessity.  Captains  may  be  added 
to  the  roster  of  Lieutenant-Colonefs  and  Majors  for  this  detail. 

593.  Staff  officers  sent  from  division  headquarters  to  inspect  the  posts 
of  graiid  guards,  give  them  orders  only  in  urgent  cases,  and  in  ^e  ab- 
sence of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade. 

594.  Grand  guards  usually  mount  at  the  t^ame  time  as  the  other 
guards,  but  may*  mount  before  daybreak  if  the  General  of  Brigade 
thinks  it  necessary  to  double  the  outposts  at  that  time.  In  this  case 
they  assemble  and  march  without  noise,  and  during  their  marcli  throw, 
out  scouts ;  this  precaution  should  always  be  taken  in  the  first  posting 
of  a  grand  guard.  The  doubling  of  guards  weakens  the  corps  and 
fatigues  the  men,  and  should  seldom  be  resorted  to,  and  never  when 
preparing  to  march  or  fight, 

595.  A  grand  guard  is  conducted  to  its  post,  in  the  first  instance,  by 
the  field  officer  of  the  day,  guided  by  a  staff  officer  who  accompanied 
the  General  in  his  reconnoissanjje.  After  the  post  has  been  established, 
the  commander  sends  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  when  necessary,  a 
soldier  of  the  guard  to  guide  the  relieving  guard  to  the  post.  He  silso 
sends  to  him  in  the  evening  a.  Corporal  or  trusty  man  of  the  guard  for 
the  note  containing  the  parole  and  countersign,  and  sends  them  before 
dark  to  the  detached  posts.  He  will  not  suffer  his  guard  to  be  relieved 
except  by  a  guard  of  the  brigade,  or  by  special  orders. 

596.  If  there  is  no  pass  to  be  observed  or  defended,  the  grand  guards 
are  placed  near  the  centre  of  the  ground  they  are  to  observe,  on  shel- 
tered, and,  if  possible,  high  ground,  the  better  to  conceal  their  strength 
and  observe  the  enemy  ;  they  ought  not  to  be  placed  near  the  edge  of  a 
wood.  When,  during  the  day,  they  are  placed  very  near  or  in  sight  of 
the  enemy,  they  fall  back  at  night  on  posts  selected  farther  to  the  rear. 

597.  In  broken  or  in  mountainous  countries,  and  particularly  if  the 
inhabitants  are  ill-disposed,  intermediate  posts  must  be  established 
when  it  is  necessary  to  post  the  grand  guard  distant  from  the  camp. 

598.  Grand  guards  are  chiefly  to  watch  the  enemy  in  front;  their 
flanks  are  protected  by  each  other,  and  the  camps  must  furnish  posts  to 
protect  their  rear  and  eecure  their  retreat. 


«RAN1)    0 LARDS.  ,  ()S 

599.  Grand  guards  are  fieldcm  intrenclied,  and  never  without  the 
orders  if  the  General,  except  by  a  barricade  or  ditch,  when  exposed  in 
a  plain  to  attacks  of  cavalry. 

600.  The  General  of  Division,  if  he  think|^  proper,  changes  the  sta- 
tions and  orders  of  these  guards,  and  establishes  posts  to  connect  the 
briija'des  or  protect  the  exteriur  flanks. 

601.  After  a  grand  guard  is  posted,  the  first  care  of  the  commander 
and  of  the  field  ofiBcer  of  the  day,  is  to  get  news  of  the  enemy;  then  to 
reconnoitre  his  position,  and  the  roads,  bridges,  fords,  and  defiles: 
This  reconnoisancc  determines  the  for\>e  and  position  of  the  small  posts 
and  their  sentinels  day  and  night.  These  posts,  according  to  their  im- 
portance, are  commanded  by  ofiicers  or  non-commissioned  ofBcers  ;  the 
cavalry  posts  may  be  relieved  every  four  or  eight  hours. 

602.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  receives  detaile  1  instructions 
from  the  General  and  field  ofiicer  of  the  day  of  the  bpigrade,  and  in- 
structs the  commanders  of  the  small  posts  as  to  their  duties  and  the  ar- 
rangements for  the  defence  or  retreat.  The  commanders"  of  grand 
guards  may,  in  urgent  cases,  change  the  pcsitiohs  of  the  small  posts. 
If  the  small  posts  are  to  change  their  positions  at  night,  they  wait  until 
the  grand  guard  have  got  into  position^  and  darkness  hides  their  move- 
ments from  the  enemy  ;  then  march  silently  and  rapidly  under  the 
charge  of  an  officer. 

603.  In  detached  corps,  small  posts  of  pieked  men  are  s^i  night  sent 
forward  on  the  roads  by  which  the  enemy  may  attack  or  turn  the  posi- 
tion. They  watch  the  forks  of  the  roads,  keep  silence,  conceal  them- 
selves, light  no  fires,  and  often  change  place.  They  announce  the  ap- 
proach of  the  enemy  by  signals  ajireed  upon,  and  retreat  by  routes  ex- 
amined during  the  day,  to  places  selected,  and  rejoin  the  guard  at  day- 
break. 

604.  Grand  guards  have  special  orders  in  each  case,  and  the  follow- 
ing in  all  cases  :  to  inform  the  nearest  posts  and  the  field  officer  of  the 
day,  or  the  General  of  Bri;i;ade,  of  the  n^arch  and  movements  of  the 
enemy,  and  of  the  attacks  they  receive  or  fear;  to  examine  every  pcr- 
8on»passing  near  the  post,  particularly  those  coming  from  without;  to 
arrest  suspicious  persons,  and  all  soldiers  and  camp-followers  who  try 
to  pass  out  without  permission,  and  to  send  to  the  General,  unless  other- 
wise directed,  all  country  people  who  come  in. 

605.  All  oqt  guards  stand  to  arms  at  night  on  the  approach  of  pat- 
rols, rounds,  or  other  parties;  the  sentinel  over  the  arms  has  orders  to 
call  them  out. 

606.  Advanced  posts  "will  not  take  arms  for  inspection  or  ceremony 
"V^'hen  it  would  expose  them  to  the  view  of  the  enemy. 

607.  Grand  guards  are  often  charged  with  the  care  and  working  of 
teleujraphic  signals. 

608.  The  sefttinels  and  videttes  are  placred  on  points  from  which  they 
can  see  f>irthest,  taking  care  not  to  break  thoir  connection  with  each 
other  or  with -their  posts.  They  are  concealed  from  the  enemy  as  much 
as  p.)ssit)ie  by  walls,  or  trees,  or  elevated  ground.  It  is  generally  even 
of  more  advantage  not  to  be  seen  than  to  see  far.  They  should  not  be 
placed  near  covers,  where  the  enemy  may  capture  them. 

60D.  A  sentinel  should  always  be  ready  to  fire,  videttes  carry  their 
pistols  or  carbines   in  their  hands.     A  sentinel  must  be  sure  of  the 


64  GRAND   GUARDS. 

presence  of  an  enemy  before  he  fires ;  once  satisfied  of  that,  he  must 
fire,  though  all  defence  on  his  part  be  useless,  as  the  safety  of  the  post 
may  depend  on  it.     Sentinels  fire  on  all  persons  deserting  to  the  enemy. 

610.  If  the  post  must  be  where  a  sentinel  on  it  can  not  communicate 
with  the  guard,  a  corporal  and  three  men  are  detached  for  it,  or  the 
sentinels  are  doubled,  that  one  may  >  communicate  with  the  guard. 
During  the  day  the  communication  may  be^  made  by  signals,  such  as 
raising  a  cap  or  handkerchief.  At  night  sentinels  are  placed  on  low 
ground,  the  better  to  see  objects  against  the  sky. 

Gil.  To  lessen  the  duty  of  rounds,  and  keep  more  men  on  the  alert 
at  night,  sentinels  are  relieved  every  hour.  To  prevent  sentinels  from 
being  surprised,  it  is  sometimes  well  to  precede  the  countersign  by  sig- 
nals, such  as  striking  the  musket  with  the  hand,  striking  the  hands  to- 
gether, &c. 

612.  On  the  opproach  of  any  one  at  night,  the  sentinel  orders — 
*'  Halt!"  If  the  order  is  not  obeyed  after  once  repeated,  he  fires.  If 
obeyed,  he  calls — "  Who  goes  there?"  If  answered — ^^  Eoimds"  or 
"  Patrol^"  he  says — ^^ Advance  with  the  countersign."  If  more  than  one 
advance  at  the  same  time,  or  the  person  who  advances  fails  to  give  the. 
countersign  or  signal  agreed  on,  the  sentinel  fires,  and  falls  back  on  hia 
guard.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms,  as  soon 'as  his  hail  is 'answered, 
turns  out  the  guard,  and  the  corporal  goes  to  reconnoitre.  When  it, is 
desirable  to  hide  the  position  of  the  sentinel' from  the  enemy,  the  hail 
is  replaced  by  signals  ;  the  sentinel  gives  the  signal,  and  those  approach- 
ing the  counter  signal. 

613.  With  raw  troops,  or  when  the  light  troops  of  the  enemy  are  nu- 
merous or  active,  and  when  the  country  is  broken  or  wooded,  the  night 
stormy  or  davk,  sentinels  should  be  doubled.  In  this  case,  w^hile  one 
watches,  the  other,  called  a  flying  sentinel,  moves  abflut,  examining  the 
paths  and  hollows. 

614.  The  commandants  of  grand  guards  visit  the  sentinels  often  ; 
change  theii*  positions  when  necessary  ;  make  them  repeat  their  orders ; 
teach  them  under  what  circumstances  and  at  what  signals  to  retire,  and 
particularly  not  to  fall  back  directly  on  their  guard  if  pursued,  bu^  to 
lead  the  enemy  in  a  circuit. 

615.  At  night,  half  the  men  of  the  grand. guard  ofi"  post  watch  under 
arms,  while  tlie  rest  lie  down,  arms  by -their  side.  The  horses  are  al- 
ways bridled  ;  the  horsemen  hold  the  reins,  and  must  not  sleep. 

616.  When  a  grand  guard  of  cavalry  is  so  placed  as  not  to  be  liable 
to  a  sudden  attack  from  the  enemy,  the  General  may  permit  the  horses 
to  be  fed  during  the  night,  unbridling  for  this  purpose  a  few  at  a  time 
— the  horsemen  being  vigilant  to  prevent  them  from  escaping. 

617.  An  hour  before  break  of  day,  infantry  grand  guards  stand  to 
arms,  anxi  cavalry  mount.     At  the  advanced  posts,  some  of  the  infantry 

'are  all  night  under  arms,  some  of  the  cavalry  on  horseback. 

618.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  regulates  the  numbers,  the 
hours,  and  the  march  of  patrols  and  rounds,  according  to  the  strength 

'of  his  troop  and  the  necessity  for  precaution;  and,  accompanied  by 
those  who  are  to  command  the  patrols  and  rounds  during  the  night,  he 
will  reconnoitre  all  the  route  they  are  to  follow. 

619.  Patrojs  and  rounds  march  slowly,  in  silence,  and  with  great 
precaution;  halt  frequently  to  listen,  and  examine  the  ground..   The 


GRAND   ROUNDS.  66 

rounds  consist  of  an  officer  or  non-commissi«ned  officer,  aiid  two  or  three 
men. 

620.  Toward  the  break  of  day  the  patrols  ought  to  be  more  frequent, 
and  sent  to  greater  distances.  They  examine  the  hollow-'ways,  and 
ground  likely  to  conceal  an  enemy,  but  with^reat  caution,  to  avoid  be- 
ing cut  off,  or  engaged  in  an  unequal  combat ;  if  they  meet  the  enemy, 
they  fire  and  attempt  to  stop  his  march.  While  the  patrols  are  out  the 
posts  are  under  arms. 

621.  Cavalry  patrols  should  examine  the  country  to  a  greater  distance 
than  infantry,  and  report  to  the  infantry  guard  every  thing  the^'  observe. 
The  morning  patrols  and  scouts  do  not  return  until  broad  daylight; 
and  when  they  return,  the  night  .sentinels  are  vrithdiawn,  and  the  posts 
for  the  day  resumed. 

622.  AYhcn  patrols  are  sent  beyond  the  advanced  posts,  the  posts  and 
sentinels  should  be  warned. 

623.  On  their  return,  commanders  of  patrols  report  in  regard  to  the 
ground  and  everything  they  have  observed  of  the  movements  of  the 
enemy,  or  of  iiis  posts,  and  the  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  reports 
to  thg  field  ofacer  of  the  day. 

624.  The  fires  of  the  grand  guards  should  be  hidden  by -a  wall,  or 
ditch,  or  other  screen.  To  deceive  the  enemy,  fires  are  sometimes  mado 
on  gr<)und  not  occupied.  Fires  are  not  permitted  at  small  posts  liable 
to  surprise. 

625.  *The  horses  of  cavalry  guards  are  watered  or  fed  by  detachments  ; 
during  which  the?  rest  are  ready  to  mount. 

626.  If  a  body  of  troops  attempt  to  enter  the  camp  at  night,  unless 
their  arrival  has  been  announced,  or  the. commander  is  known  to,  or  is 
the  "bearer  of  a  written  order  to  the  commander  of  the  grand  guards, 
he  stops  them,  and  sends  the  commander  under  escort  to  the  field  ofiicer 
of  the  day,  and  warns  the  post  near  him. 

627.  Bearers  of  flags  arc  not  permitted  to  pass  the  outer  chain  of  sen- 
tinels ;  their  fiices  are  turned  from  the  post  of  army  ;  if  necessary  their 
eyes  are  bandaged;  a  non  commissioned  ofiicer  stays  with  them  to  pre- 
vent indiscretion  of  the  sentinels. 

628.  The  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  receipts  for  dispatches,  and 
sends  them  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day  or*  General  of  Brigade,  and  dis- 
misses the  bearer;  but  if  he  has  discovered  what  ought  to  be  concealed 
from  the  enemy,  he  is  detained  as  long  as  necessary. 

629.  Deserters  are  disarmeii  at  the  advanced  posts,  and  sent  to  the 
commander  of  the  grand  guard,  who  gets  from  them  all  the  information 
he  can  concerning  his  post.  If  many  come  at  night  they  are  received 
cautioushj,  a  few  at  a  time.  They  are  sent  in  the  morning  to  the  field. 
otScer  of  the  day,  or  to  the  nearest  post  or  camp,  to  be  conducted  to  the 
General  of  the  brigade.  All  suspected  persons  are  searched  by  com- 
manders of  the  posts. 

630.  When-  an  enemy  advances  to  an  attack,  unless  he  is  in  too  great 
force,  or  the  grand  guard  is  );o  defend  an  intrenched  post  or  a  defile,  it, 
will  take  position,  and  execute  the  movements  to  check  the  enemy,  act- 
ing as  skirmishers,  or  fighting  in  close  or  open  order,  as  may  be  best. 
The  guard  joins  its  corps  when  in  line,  or  when  a  sufficient  number  of 
troops  have  reaqhcd  the  ground  it  defends. 


6j6  entrenched  posts — ^detachments. 

ENTRENCHED  'POSTS. 

631.  Unless  the  array  be  acting  on  the  defensive,  no  post  should  be 
intrenched,  except  to  cover  the  weak  parts  of  the  line,  or  at  points 
which  the  enemy  cannot  aroid,  or  in  mountain  vrarfare,  or  to  the  close 
of  a  defile,  or  to  cover  winter  quarters.  , 

632.  Posts  connected  with  tl^g^^erations  of -an  army  are  intrenched   ♦ 


only  by  order  of  the  General  cliivmanding-inchief  or  a  General  of  Di-' 
vision. 

633.  Any  intrenchmentthat  requires  artillery,  is  considered  as  a  post, 
and  a  guard  or  garrison  and  commander  are  assigned  to  it. 

634.  The  General  who-establishes  an  intrenched  post  gives  to,its  com- 
mander detailed  instructions  in  regard  to  its  defence,  and  the  circum- 
stances under  which  the  defence  shuuld  cease. 

635.  The  commander  reconnoiters  his  post;  distributes  the  troops; 
posts  the  ofiicers  and  non-commissioned  officers ;  forms  a  reserve  ;  gives 
orders  for  all  contingencies  he  can  fore^ice;  supposes  an  attack,  and  ar- 
ranges his  troops  for  defence,  so  as  to  prepare  them  for  an  attack,  day  or 
night. 

636.  *rn  dark  weather  he  redoubles  his  vigilance,  and  changes  the 
hours  and  direction  of  the  rounds  and  parols.  lie  permits  no  flags  of 
truce,  deserters  or  strangers  to  enter.  If  a  flag  ought  to  pass  his  post, . 
he  bandages  his  eyes  He  refuses  admittance  to  a  relief  *or  any  other 
party  until  he  has  carefijUy  examined  them.  In  case  of  an  attack,  he 
does  not  wait  for  orders  or  hold  a  oouncil.  Having  defended  his  post 
to  the  last  extremity,  or  till  the  purpose  of  the  defence,  according  to  his 
instructions,  is  ant-wcred,  he  may  then  spike  his  guns  and  rejoin  the 
army  under  cover  of  night,  or  by  cutting  his  way  through  the  enemy. 

DETACHMENTS. 

637.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  the  diflferent  regiments 
of  a  brigade,  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  of  the  brigade  assembles 
it,  and  turns  it  over  to  the  commander. 

638.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  different  brigades,  tha. 
Assistant  Adjutant-General  in  each',  forms  the  contingent  of  the  brigade, 
and  sends  it  to  th6  place  of  assembling. 

639.  Detachments  are  generally  formed  by  taking  battalions,  squad- 
rons, companies,  platoons  in  turn,  according  to  the  roster  for  such 
detail. 

640.  When  the  detachment  is  to  consist  of  men  from  every  co'mpany 
or  troop,  the  first  on  the  roster  for  guard  are  taken. 

641.  Officers,  non-commissioned  ofiicers,  and  soldiers,  whose  tour  it  is 
to  go  on  detacjjment,  if  employed  otherwise  at  the  time,  are  relieved 
from  the  duty  they  are  on,  if  they  can  reach  the  camp  in  time  to  march 
with  the  detachment. 

642.  When  detachments  meet,  the  command  is  regulated  while  they 
serve  together  as  if  they  formed  one  detachment.     But  the  senior  officers 
cannot  prevent  the  commander  of  any  detjlcliment  from  moving,  when  , 
he  thinks  proper,  to  execute  the  orders  he  has  received. 

643.  On  the  return  ol  a  detHirhment,  the  coniiuander  reports  to  the 
headquarters  from  which  he  received  his  orders. 


RECONNOISANCJ^ — PARTISANS    AND    FLANKKBS.  67 

KECONNOISANCES. 

644.  Near  an  enemy,  daily  reconnoisances  are  made  to  observe  the 
ground  in  front,  and  to  discover  whether  the  advanced  guards  of  the 
enemy  have  been  increased  or  put  in  motign,  or  any  other,  sign  of  his 
preparation  for  march  or  action, 

645.  They  are  made  by  small  parties  of  cavalry  and  infantry,  frona 
,  the  brigade,  under  the  direction  of  the  General  of  I>ivisi'on  or  the  General 

of  a  separate  brigade,  and  to  less  distance  by  the  pastoral  of  the  grand 
guard,  and  are  not  repeated  at  the  same  hour  or  by  the  same  route.  On 
the  plain,  reconnoisances  are  made  by  cavalry  ;  among  mountains,  by 
infantry,  with  a  few  horsemen  to  carry  intelligewce. 

646.  Reconnuitering  parties  ob.'^erve  the  following  precautions:  to 
leave  small  posts,  or  sentinels  at  intervals,  to  transmit  intelligence  to 
the  advanced  posts  of  an  army,  unless  the  return  is  to  be  by  a  different 
route  ;  to  march  vyith  cautit>n,  to  avoid  fighting;  and  see,  if  possible, 
without  being  seen  ;  to  keep  an  advanced  guard  ;  to  send  well  mounted 
men  ahead  of  the  advanced  guard  ;  and  on  the  flank  of  the  party;  to 
instruct  the  scouts  that  no  two  should  enter  a  defile  or  mount  a  hill  to- 
gether, but  to  go  one  at  a  time,  while  one' watches  to  carry  the  news  if 
the  other  is  taken. 

647.  Before  daybreak  the  advanced  guard  a^id  scouts  are  dxawn 
closer  ;  the  party  then  march  slowly  and  silently,  stop  frequently  to 
listen,  and  keep  the  horses  that  neigh  in  the  rear.  The  party  should 
enttr  no  wood,  defile,  village,  or  inclosure,  until  it  has  been  lully  ex- 
amined by  the  scouts. 

648.  Special  reconn(»isances  are  mnde  under  the  instruction  of  the 
General  iq  command,  Ijy  such  ofiicers  and  with  such  force  r.s  he  may 
direct. 

649.  Offensive  or  forced  reconnoisances  are  to  ascertain  with  certain'^y 
points  in  the  enemy's  position,  or  his  strength.  They  are  sometimes 
preludes  to  real  actions,  and  sometimes  tmly  demonstrations.  They 
drive  in  his  outposts,  and  ^ometinles  engage  special  corps  of  his  line. 
They  are  only  made  by  order  of  the  General  commanding-iu-chief,  or 
the  commander  of  an  isolated  corps. 

650.  In  all  reports  of  reconnoisances,  the  officer  making  them  shall 
distinguish  expressly  what  he  has  seen  from  the  accounts  he  has  not 
been  able  to  verify  personally. 

651.  In  special  and  offensive  reconnoisances,  the  report.must  be  ac» 
companied  by  a  field-sketch  of  the  localities,  the  dispositions  and  defen- 
ces of  the  enemy. 

PARTISANS    AND    FLANKERS. 

652.  The  operations  of  partisan  corps  depend  on  the  nature  and 
theatre  of  the  war  ;  they  enter  into  the  general  plan  of  operations,  and 
are  conducted  under  the  orders  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief. 

653.  The  composition  and  strength  of  partisan  corps  and  detachment 
of  jankers  depend  on  the  object,  the  difficulties,  the  distance,  and  the 
probable  time  of  the  expedition. 

654.  The  purpose  of  these  isolated  corps  is  to  reconnoitre  at  a  dis- 
tance'on  the  flanks  of  tlie  army,  t  ■  protect  its  operations,  to  deceive  the 
enemy,  to  interrupt  his  communiciitions,  to  intercept  his  couriers  and 
his  oorr.eapondence,  to  threaten  ordestroy   his  magnzincs,  to  carry  off 


68  MARCHES.        « 

his  posts  and  his  convoys,  br/at  all  events,  to  retard  his  march  by 
making  him  detach  largely  for  their  protection. 

655.  While  these  corps  fatigue  the  enemy  and  embarrass  hFs  opera- 
tions, they  endeavor  to  inspire  confidence  and  secure  the  good  will  of 
the  inhabitants,  in  a  friendly  country,  and  to  hold  them  in  check  in  an 
enemy's  country. 

656.  They  move  actively,  appear  unexpectedly  on  diiFerent  points,  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  estimate  their  force,  or  to 
tell  whether  they  are  irregular  forces  or  an  advanced  guard. 

657.  These  operations  require  vigilance,  secresy,  energy,  and  prompt-- 
ness.     The  partisan  coinmander  must  frequently  supply -by  stratagem 

•  arid  audacity  what  he  wants  in  numbers. 

658.  These  detachments  are  sometimes  composed  of  different  arms, 
but  the  seryice  belongs  more  particularly  to  the  light  cavalry,  which 
can  move  to  a  distance  by  rapid  marches,  surprise  the  enemy,  attack 
unexpectedly,  and  retire  as  jTromptly. 

659.  Stormy  weather,  fogs,  extreme  heat, -and  the  night  above  all, 
are  favorable  to  the  success  of  ambuscades:  when  the  enemy  are  care- 
less, the  break  of  day  is  the  best  time.  A  partisaji  commander  should 
communicate  to  his  second  in  command,  his  secret  orders,  the  direction 
and  object  of  the  expedition,  and  the  different  points  of  junction  with 
the  army. 

660.  Guides  of  the  country  and  spies  are  often  necessary  to  the  parti- 
san. They  are  examined  separately,  and  confronted  if  their  accounts 
differ.  When  there  is  but  one  guide,  he  marches  with  the  advanced 
guard,  guarded  by  two  men,  and  bound  if  necessary.  Peddlers  and 
smugglers  are  specially  suitable  for  spies. 

601.  A  fit  time  to  attack  a  conroy  is  at  a  halt,  or  when  they  begin  to 
pafk,  or  when  they  are  watering,  passing  a  wood  or  a  defile;  at  a  bend 
of  the  road,  a  bridge  or  steep  ascent. 

662.  The  attacking  party  may  be  principally  cavalry,  with  some  in- 
fantry. The  first  object  is  to  disperse  the  escort.  A  part  of  the  de- 
tachment attacks  the  rnain  body  of  the  escort,  another  the  wagons,  and 
a  third  is  in  reserve  ;  skirmishers  line  the  road,  and  try  to  cut  the 
traces,  and  to  seize  the  front  and  rear  wagons,  and  turn  them  across  the 
road,  to  prevent  the  train  from  advancing  or  retreating. 

663.  If  the  convoy  is  piyked,  the  caralry  surrounds  it,  assails  the  es- 
cort, and  tries  to  draw  it  away  fi-ora  the  train.  The  infantry  then  en- 
gage the  troops  remaining  at  the  park,  slip  under-the  wagons,  and  get 
into  the  park.  When  the  cavalry  is  alone  and  the  enemy  are  shaken, 
they  dismount  a  portion  of  the  men  to  supply  the  want  of  infantry. 

664.  If  if  is- a  large  convoy,  the  principal  attack  is  made  on  the  cen- 
tre ;  the  most  valuable  wagons  are  also  selected  and  additional  horses 
are  put  to  them  if-the  attack  is  successful-  Those  that  cannot  be  car- 
ried off  are  burned. 

MARCHES. 

^  665.  The  object  of  the  movement  and  the  nature  of  the  ground  deter- 
mine the. order  of  march,  the  kind  of  troops  in  each  column,  and  the 
number  of  columns. 

660.  The  force  is  divided  into  as  many  columns  aj3  circumstances  per- 
mit, without  weakening   an}'  one  too  ma»h.     They  ought  to  preserve 


_  MARCHES.  (il) 

their  communications,  and  bo  within  supporting  distance  of  each  other. 
The  commander  of  each  column  ought  to  know  the  strength  and  direc- 
tion of  the  others. 

667.  The  advance  and  rear  guards  are  usually  light  troops  ;  their 
strength  and  composition  depend  on  the  nature  of  the  ground  and  the 
position  of  the  enemy.  They"  serve  to  cover  the  movements  of  the 
army,  and  to  hold  the  enem}"^  in  cheek  until  the  General  has  time  to 
make  his  arrangements. 

668.  The  a^dvance  guard  is  not  always  at  the  head  of  a  column  ;  in  a 
march  to  a  flank,  it  takes  such  positions  as  cover  the  movement.  Sap- 
pers are  attached  to  the  advanced  gtiard  if  required. 

069.  The  '^general,"  sounded  one  hour  before  the  time  of  marching,  • 
is  the  signal  to  strike  tents,  to   load  the  wagons,  and  pack  horses,  and 
send  them  to  the  place  of  assembling.     The  fires  are  then  put  out,  and 
care  taken  to  avoid  burning  straw,  &c.,  or  giving  to   the  enemy  any 
other  indication  of  the  movement. 

670.  The  "  march''  will  be  beat  in  the  infantry,  and  the  "  advance" 
sounded  in  the  cavalry,  in  succession,  as  each  is  to  take  its  place  in  the 
column. 

671.  When  the  army  should  form  suddenly  to  meet  the  enemy,  the 
*'  long  roll"  is  beat,  and  "  to  horse"  sounded.  The  troops  form  riipidly 
in  front  of  their  camp. 

672.  Batteries  of  artillery  an3  their  caissons  move  with  the  corps  to 
which  they  are  attached  ;  the  field  train  and  ambulances  march  at  tho 
rear  of  the  column  ;  and  the  baggage  with  the  rear  guard. 

673.  Cavalry  and  infantry  do  not  march  together,  unless  the  prox- 
imity of  the  enemy  makes  it  necessary. 

674.  In  cavalry  marches,  when  distant  from  the  enemy,  each  regi- 
ment, and,  if  possible,  each  squadron^  forms  a  separate  column,  in  order 
to  keep  up  the  same  gait  from  front  to  rear,  and  to  trot,  when  desirable, 
on  good  ground.  In  such  cases,  the  cavalry  may  leave  camp  later,  and 
can  give  more  rest  to  the  horses,  and  more  attention  to  the  shoeing  and 
harness.     Horses  are  not  bridled  until  the  time  to  start. 

675.  When  necessary,  tfie  orders  specify  the  rations  the  men  are  to 
carry  in  their  haversacks.  The  field  officers  and  Captains  make  inspec- 
tions frequently  during  the  march  ;  at  halts  they  examine  the  knap- 
sacks, valises  and  haversacks,  and  throw  away  all  articles  not  author- 
ized. The  officers  and  non-commissioned  ofiicers  of  cavalry  companies 
atten<i  personally  to  the  packs  and  girths. 

676.  WJien  it  can  be  avoided,  troops  should  not  be  assembled  on  high 
roads  or  other  places  where  they  interrupt  the  communication. 

677.  Generals  of  Divisions, and  commanders  of  detached  corps  send  a 
stafi"  officer  to  the  rendezvous  in  advance,  to  receive  the  troops,  who, 
on  arriving,  take  their  place  in  the  order  of  battle,  and  form  in  close 
column,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  Artillery,  or  trains  halted  on  the 
roads,  form  in  file  on  one  side.      ■  \ 

678.  The  execution  of  marching  orders  must  not  be  delayed.  If  the 
commander  is  not  at  the  head  of  his  troops  when  they  are  to  march,  the 
next  in  rank  puts  the  column  in  motion. 

679.  If  possible,  each  column  is  preceded  by  a  detachment  of  sappers, 
to  remove  obstacles  to  the  march,  aided,  when  necessary,  b'y  infantry, 
or  tho  people  of  the  country.     The  detachment  is  divided  into  two  sec- 


70  MARCHKS. 

ti ons :  one  stops  to  remove  the  first  obstacle,  the  other  moves  on  to  tlie 
next. 

680.  In  night  marches,  and  at  bad  places,  and  at  cross-roads,  when 
necessary,  intelligent  non-commissioned  officers  are  posted  to  show  the 
way,  and  are  relieved  by  the  regiments  as  they  come  up. 

681.  On  the  march,  no  one  shall  fire  a  gun,  or  cry  "  JiaW^  or  "  marchy'^ 
without  orders. 

682.  Soldiers  are  not  to  stop  for  water  ;  the  canteens  should  be  filled 
before  starting.  , 

683.  It  is  better  to  avoid  villages;  but  if  the  route  lies  through  them, 
officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  Ije  vigilant  to  prevent 
straggling-     Halts  should  not  take  place  at  villages. 

684.  Besides  the  rear  guard,  the  General  sometimes  takes  a  detach- 
ment from  the  last  regiment,  and  adds  to  it  non-commissioned  officers 
from  each  regiment,  to  examine  villages  and  all  hiding-places  on  the 
route,  to  bring  up  stragglers  and  seize  marauders. 

685.  In  night  marches,  the  Sergeant-Major  of  each  regiment  remains 
at  the  rear  with  a  drummer,  to  give  notice  when  darkness  or  difficulty 
stops  the  march.  In  cavalry,  a  trumpet  is  placed  in  rear  of  each 
squadron,  and  the  signal  repeated  to  the  head  of  the  regiment. 

686.  The  General  and  field  officers  frequently  stop,  of  send  officers  to 
the'rear,  to  see  that  the  troops  march^in  the  prescribed  order,  and  keep, 
their  distances.  To  quicken  the  march,  the  General  warns  the  Colo- 
nels, and  may  order  a  signal  to  be  beat.  It  is  repeated  in  all  the  regi- 
ments. ■  *  . 

687.  In  approaching  a  defile,  the  Colonels  are  warned  ;  they  close 
their  regifnents  as  they  come  up  ;  each  regiment  passes  separately,  at  an 
accelerated  pace,  and  in  as  close  order  as  possible.  The  leading  regi- 
ment having  passed,  and  left  room  enough  fur  the  whole  column  in 
close  order,  then  halts,  and  moves  again  as  soon  as  the  last  regiment  is 
through.  In  the  cavalry,  each  squadron,  before  quickening  the  pace  to 
rejoin  the  column,  takes  its  original  order  of  march. 

688.  When  the  distance  from  the  enemy  permits,  each  regiment, 
after  closing  up  in  front  and  rear  of  the  defile,  stacks  arms. 

689:  Halts  to  rest  and  re-form  the  trof  ps  are  frequent  during  the 
day,  depending  on  the  object  and  length  of  thQ  march.  They  Are  made 
in  preference  after  the  passage  of  defiles. 

690-  No  honors  are  paid  by  troops  on  the  march  or  at  halts.. 

681.  The  sick  march  with  the  wagons. 

692.  Led  horses  of  officers,  and  the  horses  of  dismounted  men,  follow 
their  regiment.  The  baggage  wagons  never  march  in  the  column. 
When  the  General  orders  the  field  train  and  ambulances  to  take  place 
in  tne  column,  he  designates  the  position  they  shall  take. 

695.  If  two  corps  meet  on  the  same  road,  they  pass  to  the  right,  and 
both  continue  their  march,  if  the  road  is  wide  enough  ;  if  it  is  not,  the 
first  in  the  order  of  battle  tak^s  the  road,  the  other  halts. 

694.  A  corps  in  march  must  not  be  cut  by  anothei*.  If  two  corps 
meet  at  cross  roads,  that  which  arrives  last  halts  if  the  other  is  in  mo- 
tion. A  corps  in  rnarch  passes  a  corps  at  a  halt,  if  it  has  precedence 
in  the  order  of  battle,  or  if  the  halted  corps  is  not  ready  to  move  at 
once. 

695.  A  column  that  halts  to  let  another  column  pass  resumes  the 


1 


BATTLES.  71 

march  in  adv.ince  of  the  train  of  this  column.  If  a  qplumn  has  to  pass 
a  train,  the  train  must  lialt,  if  necessary,  till  the  column  passes.  The 
column  which  has  precedence  must  yield  it  if  the  commander,  on  seeing 
the  orders  of  the  other,  finds  it  for  the  interest  of  the  service. 

BATTLES. 

696.  Dispositions  for  battle  depend  on  the  number,  kind,  and  quality 
of  the  troops  opposed,  on  the  ground,  and  on  the  objects  of  the  war; 
but  the  following  rules  are  to  be  observed  generaHy : 

697.  ^n  attacking,  the  advanced  guard  endeavors  to  capture  the  ene- 
my's outposts,  or  cut  them  off  from  the  niain  body.  Having  done  so, 
or  driven  them  in,  it  occupies,  in  advancing,  all  the  points  that  can 
cover  or  facilitate  the  march  cf  the  army  or  secure  its  retreat,  such  as 
bridges,  defiles,  woods  and  heights  ;  it  then  makes  attacks,  to  occupy 
the  enemy,  without  risking  too  much,  and  to  deceive  them  as  to  the 
march  and  projects  of  the  army. 

698.  When  the  enemy  is  hidden  by  a  curtain  of  advanced  troops,  the 
commandant  of  the  advanced  guard  sends  scouts,  under  intelligent  ofl&- 
cers,  to  the  right  and  left,  to  ascertain  his  position  and  movements.  If 
ho  does  not  succeed  in  this  way,  he  tries  to  unmask  the  enemy  by  de- 
monstrations ;  threatens  to  cut  the  advance  from  the  maib  body  ;  makes 
false  attacks  ;  partial  and  impetupus  charges  in  echelon;  and  if  all 
fail,  he  makes  a  real  attack  to  accomplish  the  object. 

699.  Detachments  left  by  the  advanced  guard  to  hold  points  in  the 
rear,  rejoin  it  when  other  troops  come  up.  If  the  army  takes  a  posi- 
tion, and  the  advanced  guard  is  separated  from  it  by  defiles  or  heights, 
the  communication  is  secured  by  troops  drawn  fronj  the  main  body. 

700.  At  proper  distance  from  the  enemy,  the  troops  are  formed  for 
the  atftick  in  several  lines  ;  if  only  two  can  be  formed,  some  battalions 
in  column  are  placed  behind  the  wings  of  the  second  line.  The  Hnes 
may  be  formed  of  troops  ii\ column  or  in  order  of  battle,  according  to 
the  ground  and  plan  of  attack. 

701.  The  advanced  guard  may  be  put  in  the  line  'or  on  the  wings,  or 
other  position,  to  ^d  the  pursuit  or  cover  the  retreat. 

702.  The  reserve*  is  formed  of  the  best  troops  of  foot  and  horse,  to 
complete  a  victory  or  make  good  a  retreat.  It  is  placed  in  the  rear  of 
the  Cdpntre,  or  chief  point  of  attack  or  defence. 

703.  The  cavalry  should  be  distributed  in  echelon  on  the  wings  and 
at  the  centre,  on  favorable  ground. 

704.  It  should  be  instructed  not  to  take  the  gallop  until  within 
charging  distance  ;  never  to  receive  a  charge  at  a  halt,  but  to  meet  it, 
or,  if  not  strong  enough,  to  retire  manoeuvring  ;  and  in  order  to  be 
ready  for  the  pursuit,  and  prepared  against  a  reverse,  or  the  attacks  of 
the  reserve,  not  to  engage  all  its  squadrons  at  once,  but  to  reserve  one 
third,  in  column  or  in  echelon,  abreast  of  or  in  the  rear.- of  one  of  the 
wings;  this  arrangement  is  better  than  a  second  line  with  intervals. 

705.  In  the  attack,  the  artillery  is  employed  to  silence  th^batteries 
that  protect  the  position.  In  the  defence,  it  is  better  to  direct  its  fire 
on  the  advancing  troops.  In  either  case,  as  many  pieces  are  united  aa 
possible,  the  fire  ^f  artillery  being' formidable  in  proportion  to  its  con- 
centration.

offensive,  and  pii*  the  enemy  on  the  defensive;  but' to  be  safe  in  doing 
so  requires  a  larger  force  than  the  enemy,  or  better  troops,  and  favora- 
ble ground.  When  obliged  to  acton  the  defensive,  the  advantage  of 
-  position  and  of  making  the  attack  may  sometimes  be  secured  by  form- 
ing in  rear  of  the  ground  on  which  we  are  to  fight,  and  advancing  at 
the  mt)ment  of  action.  In  mountain  warf^^re,  the  assailant  has  always 
the  disadvantage  ;  and  even  in  offensive  warfare,  in  the  open  field,  it 
may  frequently  be  very  important,  when  the  artillery  is  well  posted, 
and  any  advantage  of  the  ground  may  be  secured,  to  await  the' enemy 
and  compel  him  to  attack.  ■      *'        . 

707.  The  attack  should  be  made  with  a  superior  force  x>n  fhe  defen- 
^  sive  point  of  the  eneray*s  position,  by  masking  this  by  false  attacks  and 

demonstrations  on  other  points,  and  by  concealing  the  troops  intended 
for  it  by  the  ground  or  by  other  troops  in  the  front. 

708.  Besides  the  arrangements  which  depend  on  the  supposed  plan 
of  the  enemy,'  the'wings  must  be  protected  by  the  ground,  or  supported 
by  troops  in  echelon  ;  if  the  attack  of  the  enemy  is  repulsed,  the  offen- 
sive must  at  once  be  taken,  to  inspire  the  troops,  to  disconcert  the  ene- 
my, and  often  to  decide  the  action.  In  thus  taking  the  offensive,  a 
close  column  should  be  pushed  rapidly  on  the  wing  .or  flank  of  the  en- 
emy. The  divisions  of  ^this  column  form  in  the  line  of  battle  succes- 
sively, and  each  division  moves  to  tlfe  front  as  soon  as  formed,  in  order, 

■  by  a  rapid  attack  in  echelon,  to  prevent  the  enemy  f^m  changing  front 
or  bringing  up  his  reserves.  In  all  arrangements,  especially  in  those 
for  attacks,  it  is  most  importaikt  to  conceal  the  design  until  the  moment 
of  execution,  and  then  to  execute  it  with  the  greatest  rapidity.  The 
night,  therefore,  is  preferred  for  the  movement  of  troops  on  the  flank 
or  rear  of  the  enemy,  otherwise  it  is  necessary  to  mask  their  m^rch  by 
a  grand  movement  in  front,  or  by  taking  a  wide  circuit. 

709.  In  making  an  attack,  the  communications  to  the  rear  and  for  re* 
treat  must  be  secured,  and  the  General  must  give  beforehand  all  neces- 
sary orders  to  provide  for  that  event.' 

710.  When  a  success  is  gained,  the  light  troops  should  pursue  the 
'enemy  promptly  and  rapidly.     The  other   troops  will  restore  order  in 

their  columns,  then  advance  from  position  to  position,  always  prepared 
for  an  attack  or  to  support  the  troops  engaged. 

711.  Before' the  action,  the  Generals  indicate,  the  places  where  they 
"will  be  ;.  if  they  change  position,  they  give  notice  of  it,  or  leave  a  staff 
officer  to  show  where  they  have  gone. 

712.  During  the  fight  the  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  keep 
the  men  in  the  ranks,  and  enforce  obedience,  if  necessary.  Soldiers 
must  not  be  permitted  to  leave  the  ranks  to  strip  or  rob  the  dead,  nor 
to  assist  the  wounded,  unless  by  express  permission,  which  is  only  t© 
be  given  after  the  action  is  decided.  The-  highest  interest  and  duty  is 
to  win  the  victory,  which  only  can  insure  proper  care  of  the -wounded. 

713.  l^efore  the  action,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  division  makes  all 
the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.  He 
establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants 
the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  the  ambulance  wagons  and 
other  means  of  removing  the  wounded. 

/        714.  The  ambulance  depot  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  di- 
rected for  immediate  treatment,  is  generally  established  at  the  most 


BATTXiES — l>RlSONfiRS  OP  WAR.  73 

o->nvenient  building  nearest  -the  field  of  battle.  A  red  flag  marks  its 
place,  or  the  way  to  it,  to  the  conductors  of  the  ambulances  and  to  the 
wounded  who  can  walk. 

7 15.  The  active  ambulances  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  succor  the 
wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  depots ,-  for  this  purpose  the  conduc- 
tors should  always  have  the  necessary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may 
have  no  excuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

716.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 
Quartermaster-General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital 
*atteMdant8  at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  ambulances.  He 
will  send  officers  and  attendants  when  practicable,  to  the  active  ambu- 
lances, to  relieve  the  wounded  who  require  treatment  before  being  re- 
moved from  the  ground,  lie  will  see  that  the  depots  and  ambulances 
are  provided  with  the  necessary  apparatUi?,  medicines  and  stores.  He 
wijl  take  post  and  render  his  professional  services  at  the  principal 
depots. 

717.  If  the  enemy  endanger  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  the 
orders  of  the  General  ti)  remove  it  or  strengthen  its  guard. 

718.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  are  removed  as  soon  as 
possible  to  the  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by  the  Quartermas- 
ter-General of  the  army  on  the  flanks x)r  rear  of  the  army. 

719.  After  an  action,  the  officers  on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  muni- 
tions of  Wiir  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  them  to  the  General, 
.The  Quartermaster's  Department  collects  the  rest  of  the  public  property, 
captured,  and  makes  the  returns  to  headquarters. 

720.  Written  reports  for  the  Genei^al  commanding-in-chief  are  made 
by  commandants  of  regiments,  batteries,  and  separate  squadrons,  and 
by  all  commanders  of  a  higher  grade,  each  in  what  concerns  his  owa 
command,  and  to  his  immediate  commander. 

721.  When  ail  o83cer  or  soldier  deserves  mention  for  coftduct  in  ac- 
tion, a  special  report  shall  be  made  in  his  case,  and  the  General  com- 
nianding-in-chief  decides  whether  to  mention  him  in  his  report  to  the 
government  ajad  in  his  orders.  But  he  shall  not  be  mentioned  in  the 
report  until  he  has  been  mentioned  in  the  orders  to  .the  army.  These 
special  reports  are  examined  with  care  by  the  intermediate  command- 
ers, to  verify  the  facts,  and  secure  commendation  and  rewards  to  the 
meritorious  only. 

722.  The  report  of  battles,  which  must  frequently  be  made  before 
fcbese  special  reports  of  persons  are  scrutinized,  is  confined  to  general 
praise  or  blame,  and  an  account  of  the  operations. 

PRISONERS   OP  WAR. 

723.  Prisoners  of  War  will  be  disarmed  and  sent  to  the  rear,  and  re- 
ported as  soon  as  practicable  to  the  headquarters.  The  return  of  pri- 
soners from  fhe  headquarters  of  the  Army  to  the  War  Department 
will  speciTy  the  number,  rank,  and  corps. 

724.  The  [trivate  property  of  prisoners  will  be  duly  respected,  and 
each  shall  be  treated 'with  the  regard  due  to  his  rank.  They  are  to 
obey  the  necessary  orders  given  them.  They  receive  for  subsistence 
one  ration  each,  without  regard  to  rank  ;  and  the  wounded  are  to  be 
treated  with  the  same  care  as  the  wounded  of  the  army.    Other  allow-

ftnces  to  them  v:\\\  depend  on  conventions  with  the  enemy.     Prisoner's 
horses  will  he  taken  for  the  army. 

725.  Exehantie'i  of  prisoners  and  release  of  officers  on  parole  depend 
en  the  orders  of  the  General  commanding-in-ehief,  under  the  instruG? 
lions  of  government. 

COyVOTS    AND    XnEIR   ESCORTS.  « 

726.  The  strength  and  composition  of  the  escort  of  a  convoy  depend[| 
on  the  country,  the  nature  anil  vjiiue  of  the  convoy,  and  the  dan'gers  it 
may  incur.  A  larj;e  escort  is  required  fur  a  convoy  of  powder,  that 
the  defence  may  not  he  near  the  train. 

727-  Cavalry' is  empl<»3ed  in  escorts  chiefly  to  reconnoitre }  the  pro^ 
portion  is  lager  as  the  country  is  more  open. 

728.  Pioneers  or  working  parties  are  attached  to  convoys  to  mend 
roads,  retn(»veohstacle8,  and  erect  defences.  The  convoys  should  always 
be  provided  -vNith  spare  wheels,  pyles,  axles,  &c. 

729.  TI.e  commandant  of  the  escort  should  receive  detailed  instruc- 
tions in  writing.  •  ■» 

730.  A>4  far  as  the  defence  permits,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
shall  refer  to  the  offirer  in  charge  of  the  convoy  for  the  hours  of  depar- 
ture, I  he  halts,  the  parking  and  order  of  the  train,  and  the  precautions 
agjiinst  Hccidents. 

^731.  Officers  who  accompany  the  convoy,  but  do  not  belong  to  the  es- 
cort,'*hali  exercise  no  authority  in  it  except  by  consent  of  the  comman- 
der. If  these  officers  are  junior  to  the  commander,  he  may  assign  them 
to  duty  if  the  defence  requires  it. 

732.  Large  convoys  are  formed  in^o  divisions,  each  with  a  conductor. 
.The  distance  between  the  wagons  i^  four  paces.*  A  small  party  of  in- 
fantry is  attach*ed  to  each  division. 

733.  Generally,  munitions  of  war  are  at  the  head  of  tlie  convoy,  sub- 
sieteuce  next,  and  then  other  nnlitary  stores  ;  the  sutler  last.  But  al- 
ways that  part  of  the  convoy  which  is  most  important  to  the  army  shall 
be  vehere  it  is  most  secure  from  danger. 

7Si.  The  commandant  should  send  out  reconnoitering  parties,  and 
never  put  the  convjy  in  motion  until  their  reports  have  been  received, 
lie  always  forms  an  advance  and  rear  guard,  and  keeps  the  main  body 
under  his  immediate  order  at  the  most  important  point,  with  84mUl 
guards  or  posts  at  other  points. 

735.  In  an  open  country  the  main  body  marches  by  the  side  of  the 
road,  opposite  the  centre  of  the  envoy;  in  other  cases  at  the  head  or 
rear  of  the  column,  as  the  one  or  the  other  is  more  exposed. 

736.  The  advance  guard  precedes  the  convoy  far  enough  to  remove 
all  obstacles  to  its  advance.  It  examines  the  woods,  defiles,  and  villa- 
ges, and  by  mounted  men  gives  information  to  the  commander,  and  re- 
ceives his  orders.     It  reconnoiters  places  for  halts  and  parks. 

737.  If  the  head  of  the  column  is  threatened,  the  advanced  guard 
seizes  the  defiles  and  places  which  the  enemy  nright  occupy,  and  holds 
them  until  the  main  body  advances  to  .the  front  and  relievesit*  the 
main  body  holds  the  positions  until  the  head  of  the  convoy  arrives'  and 
then  leaves  detachments,  which  are  relieved  by  the  parties  marching 
with  the  divisions;  the  posts  are  not  abandoned  until  the  whole  convoy 
has  paesed  and  the  position  is  no  linger  important. 


CONVOYS    A.ND    THEIR    ESCOSTS.  75 

738.  Whoa  the  rear  is  threatenoi,  like  measures  are  taken  ;  the  rear 
guard  defends  the  grounds  iind  retards  the  enemy  by  breaking  the 
bridgfis  jiiid  bK)ckin^  the  road. 

76'J.  If  the  flunks  are  threatened,  and  the  ground  is  broken,  and 
many  dedles  are  to  be  passed,  the  defence  of  the  convoy  Ijecunies  more 
^iijcult;  the  advance  and  rear  guards  must  be  reduced,  the  flanks 
Btrengih&ncd,  and  positions  which  will  cover  the.  march  of  the  convoy 
must"ba  occupied  by  the  main  body  of  the  troops  before  the  head  of  the 
convoy  readies  them,  and  until  it  has  passed.  ^ 

7  it).  If  the  convjy  is  hirge  and  has  to  pass  places  that  the  force  and 
position  of  the  enemy  make  dangerous,  the  loss  of  the  whole  convoy 
must  not  bo  risked;  it  must  pass  by  divisions,  which  reunite  after  the 
passage.  In  this  case  the  greater  part  of  the  troops  guard  the  first  di- 
vision"; they  seize  the  important  points,  an<i  cover  them  with  light 
troops,'  or,  i*f  necessary,  with  small  poits,  and  hold  them  until  all  the 
divisions  have  passed.  *  i        c   »  i. 

741.  If  there  is  artillery  in  the  convoy,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
uses  it  for  the-dofence. 

742.  To  move  faster  and  make  the  defence  easier,  the  wagons  niove 
in  double  fiie  whenever  the  road  allows  it.  If  a  wagon  breaks,  itis  at 
once  removed  from  the  road  ;  when  repaired,  it  takes  the  rear ;  when  it 
cannot  bs  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed  to  some  of  the 
other  wagons  kept  in  the  rear  for  that  purpose.  .  _  -r^     i     ^ 

743.  Convoys  bv  water  are  escorted  on  the  same  principles.  Each 
boat  has  a  small  infantry  guard  ;  one  portion  of  the  escort  precedes  or 
follows  the  convoy  in  boats.  The  cavalry  march  opposite  the  coi:voy; 
the  advance  and^-ear  guard  move  by  land,  and  all  are  connected  by 
flankers  witli  the  convoy.  Where  a  river  runs  throu2;h  a  narrow  valley, 
the  b^dy  of  the  infantry  moves  by  land  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  oc- 
cupying the  heights  and  disturbing  the  convoy. 

744.  Convoys  halt  every  hour  to  let  the  horses  take  breath  and  the 
wagous  close  up.  Long  halts  are  made  but*  seldom,  and  i)nly  in  places 
that  have  been  reconnoiterod  and  found  favorable  for  defence.  At  night 
the  park  is  arranged  for  defence,  and  in  preference  at  a  distar.ce  Irom 
inhabited  places,  if  in  an  enemy's  country. 

745.  The  wagons  are  usually  parked  in  ranks,  axlo  against  axle,  the 
poles  in  the  s.lme  direction,  and  with  sufficient  space  between  the  ranks 
for  the  horses.  If  an  attack  is  feared,  they  are  parked  in  square,  the 
bind  wheels  outside,and  the  horses  inside. 

74G.  On  the  appTjarance  <*if  the  enemy  during  tlie  march,  the  com- 
mander closes  up  the  wagons  and  continues  his  march  in  order;  he 
avoids  fighting  ;  but  if  the  enemy  seizes  a  positi(m  that  commands  his 
road,  he'attacks  vigorously  with  the  mass  of  his  force,  but  is  not  to  con- 
tinue the  pursuit  far  from  the  convoy.  The  convoy  halts,  and  resumes 
the  march  when  the  position  is  carried.  j      ,  " 

747  When  the  enemy  iS  too  stt-ong  to  be  attacked,  the  convoy  is 
parked  in  square  if  there  is  room,;  if  not  closed  up  in  double  tile;  at 
the  frotit  and  roar  tJie  road  is  blocked  by  wagons  across  it.  1  he  drivers 
are  disnv)untcd  at  the  heads  of  the  horses.  They  are  not  permitted  to 
make  their  escape.  The  light  troops  keep  the  enemy  at  a  distance  as 
long  as  possible,  and  are  supported  when  necessary,  but  prudently,  as 
thelroops  must  bo  kept  in  hand  to  resist  the  main  attack, 


76  BAG  GAGE    TRAfNif. 

748.  If  a  wagon  takea  fire  in  the  park,  remove  it  if  possible;  if  not, 
remove  first  the  ammunition  .wagons,  then  those*to  leewnrrl  of  the  fire. 

749.  When  a  wliole  convoy  ctui  nijt  be  saved,  the  taost  valaable  pari 
may  sometimes  Ue  by  abandoning  the  rest.  If  all  efforts  fail,  and  there 
is  no  hope  of 'succur,  the  convoy  must  be  set  on  fire  .and  the  horses 
killed  that  cannot  be  saved  ;  the  escort  may  then  cut  its  way  through.  < 

750.  If  the  convoy  is  of  prisoners  of  war,  every  effort  ^hoald  be  mad® 
to  reach  a  village  or  strong  building  where  they  may  be  confined  ;  if 
forced  to  fio;ht  in  the  field,  the  prisoners  must  be  secured  and  made  to  lie- 

•down  until  the  action  is  over, 

fiAGGAqfi   TRAINS. 

751.  The  baggage  train  of  general  Jieadquarters  and  the  trains  of  the 
eeveral  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  officer  of  the  Quarter- 
master's Department.  These  oiRcers  command  aiid  conduct  the  trains 
cnder  the  onlers  they  receive  from  their  respective  headquarters.  When 
the  trains  of  different  divisions  march  together,  or  the  train  of  a  division 
marches  with  the  train  of  general  headquarters,  the  senior  Quartermas- 
ter directs  the  vfhole. 

752.  The  regimental  Quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  horses, 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
regiment.  Under  the  orders  o^  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  them  for  the 
march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in'park  on  the 
march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the  orders  of  the 
Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  march  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Regimental  Quartermaster  in  the  brigade,  or  the  Quartermaster 
of  the  brigade  has  the  direction  of  the  whole.  The  necesaary  wagon- 
masters,  ov  non-commissioaed  officers  to  act  as  such,  are  employed  with 
the  several  trains. 

753.  None  but  the  authorized  wagons  are  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.  The  wagons  of  the  several  headquarters,  the  regimental  wagons, 
and  the  wagons  oi  sutlers  authorized  by  orders  from  headquarters  to 
march  with  the  train,  are  all  to  be  conspicuously  marked. 

754.  When  the  train  of  headquarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the  strength 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Generals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attached  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment  of 
their  brigades.  The  regiuiental  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  and  guard- 
ed, as  far  as  practicable,  by  convalescents  and  men  not  effective  in  the' 
ranks;  in  the  cavalry,  by  dismounted  men..  When  the  guard  of  a  train 
is  tlje  escort  for  its  defence,  the  regulations  in  regard  to  convoys  and 
escorts  take  effect. 

755.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  tlie  regimental 
trains,  uniting  at  tRe  brigade  rendezvous.  When  otherwise,  the  order 
for  the  movement  of  the  divisions,  brigades,  and  regiments  contains  the 
necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  .assembling  and  marching  of  the 
respective  trains.  The  S'everal  trains  march  in  an  order  analogous  to 
the  rank  of  the  generals,  and  the  order  of  battle  of  the  troops  to  which 
they  belong.  Trains  are  not  alloM'ed  in  any  case  to  be  in  the  midst  of 
the  troop«,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the  trooyis. 

756.  The  wagon-masters,  under  the  orders  of  the  officers  of  the  Quar- 
termaster's Department,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over,  the 
teamstera  and  servants  who  leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  properly  con-

duct  them  ;  cr  who  ill-treat  their  horses,  or  who  attempt.to  pillage,,  or 
run  away  in  case  of  attack. 

757.  The  General  commanding  th^  army  and  the  Generals  of  Division 
will  not  perniit  any  general  or  staff  officer,  o;  regiment  under  their  or- 
ders, or  any  person  whatsoevel',  attached  to  their  command,  to  have 
more  than  the  iiuthcn-ized  amount  or  means  of  transportation.  For  this 
purpose  they  will  themselves  make,  and  cause  to  be  made,  frequent  le- 
views  and  inspections  of  the  trains.     They  will  see  that  no  trooper  is 

'employed  to  lead  a  private  horse,  no  soldier  to  drive  a  private  vehiele, 
and  that  no  trooper  is  put  on  foot  to  lend  his  horse  to  an  officer.  They 
will  not  permit  the  wagons  of  the  ^artillery  or  of  the  train  to  be  loaded 
with  anything  foreign  to  their  proper  service,  nor  any  publi(j  horse,  for 
any  occasion,  to  be  harnessed  to  a  private  carriage. 

758.  The  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  the  wagon  mas- 
ters, and  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that  the 
regulations  respecting  transportation  allowancea  are  strictly  observed. 

GENERAL   POLICE. 

759.  When  necessaiy,  the  General-in-chief  or  General  of  Division 
may  appoint  a  provost  marshal  to  take  charge  of  prisoners,  with  asuit- 
abi«  guard,  or  other  police  force. 

760.  Private  servants,  not  soldiers,  will  not  be  allowed  to  wear  the 
uniform  of  any  cor^s  of  the  army  ;  but  each  will  be  required  to  carry 
with  him  a  certiticati^  from  the  officer  who  eniploys-him,  verified,  for 
regimental  officers,  by  the  signature  of  the  Colonel;  for  other  officers 
under  the  rank  of  Colonel,  by  the  chief  of  their'  corps  or  department. 

7G1.  Laundresses  permitted  to  follow  the  army  will  be  furnished  with 
.certificates,  signed  as  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  ^nd  no  woman  of  bad 
character  will  be  allowed  to  follow  the  army.  Other  persons  with  the 
army,  not  officers  or  soldiers,  such  as  guides  of  the  country,  interpre- 
ters, &c,,  will  carry  about  them  similar  certificates  from  the  head  quar- 
ters that  employs  them. 

762.  Deserters  from  the  enemy,  after  being  examined,  will  be  so- 
cured  for  some  days,  as  they  may  be  spies  in  disguise  ;  as  opportunities 
offer,  they  will  be  sent  to  the  rear  ;  after  which,  if  they  are  found  lurk- 
ing about  the  army,  or  attempting  to  return  to  the  enemy,  they  will  be 
treated  witir-  severity.        ^  . 

763.  The  arms  and  accoutrements  of  deserters  will  be  turned  over  to 
the  Ordnance  Department,  and  their  horses  to  corps  in  want  of  them, 
after  being  branded  wibli  the  letters  "  C,  S."  The  compensation  to  be 
accorded  to  deserters,  for  such  objects,  will  be  according  to  appraisem^t, 
niivd»*  under  the  direction  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department.  The  en- 
listment of  deserters,  without  express  permission  from  General  head- 
quarters, is  prohibited. 

764.  It  is  forbidden  to  purchase  horses  without  ascertaining  the  right 
of  the  party  to  sell.  Stolen  horses  are  to  be  restored.-  Estrays,  in  the 
enemy's  country,  when  the  owner  is  not  discovered,  are  taken  for  the 
armv.      *

SAFEGUARDS. 

766.  Safeguards  are  protections  granted  to  pereons  or  property  m 
foreign  parts  by  the  conimandirg  genera-l,  or  by  other  commanders 
within^the  limits  of  their  command. 

107.  Safeguards  are  usually  given  to  protect  hospitals,  public  eetab- 
lishmentp,  establishments  of  leligion,  charity,  or  instruction,  museums, 
depopit(uies  of  the  arts,  mills,  pest  cflBces,  aiid  other  institutions  oi  pub- 
lic benefit ;  also  to  individuals  "whom  it  may  be  the  interest  of  the  arniy 
to  respect. 

7G8.  A  safeguard  "may  consist  of  one  or  more  men  of  fidelity  and 
firmness,  generally  non- effective  non-commissioned  officers,  furnished 
with  a  paper  setting  out  clearly  the  protection  and  exemptions  it  is. in- 
tended to  secure,  signed  by  the  conimander  giving  it,  and  his  staff  of- 
ficer ;  or  it  may  consist  of  such  paper,  delivered  to  the  parly  whose  per- 
son, family,  house  and  property  it  is  designed  to  protect.  These  safe- 
guards must  be  nun>l)ered  and  registered. 

709.  The  men  left  as  safeguards  by  one  corps  may  be  replaced  by 
another.  They  are  withdravin  wben  the  country  is  evacuated  ;  but  if 
not,  they  have  (>rders  to  await  the  arrival  of  the  enemy's  troops,  and 
appjy  to  the  c(jmmander  for  a  safe-conduct  to  the  ontpusts.

SIEGES.  *    ■  - 

771.  In  the  following  regulations  the  besieging  force  is  supposed  to 
be  two  divisions  of  infantry  and  a  brigade  of  cavalry.  The  eume  prin-. 
cipfes  govern  in  other  cases. 

772.  The  Brigadier-Generals  of  infantry  serve,  in  turn,  as  Generals 
of  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  of  them  are  detailed  daily,  according  to 
the  front  and  number  of  attacks  ;  they  superintend  tbe  operations  and 
dispose  the  guards  of  the  trenches  to  rejulse  sorties  and  protect  the 
works.  Oftcers  of  the  general  staff  are  assigned  to  them  to  trnnpmit 
their  ordtps  and  attend  t)  the  details  of  sf  rvice. 


blJiOEti.  79 

773.  The  Colonels  nnd  Lieutenj^nt-Colonels  of  infantry  alt^rnnte  for 
duty  in  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  are  detailed  daily  ;  they  superintend 
the*  service  of  the  j^uards  and  workmen  in  the  part  of  the  work  to 
which  the  general  of  the  trenches  assign  them,  being  posted  with  troops 
of  their  own  regiments  in  preference.  The  commandant  of  the  siege 
may  place  the  Colonels  on  the  roster  with  the  Brigadier-Generals. 

774.  The  commandant  of  engineers  nnd  artillery  accompany  the 
first  troops  before  the  .place  to  examine  the  works  and  the  approaches. 
When  the  engineers  have  completed  the  reconnoisance  of  the  works, 
and  of  each  front  as  far  as  practicable,  the  commandant  of  engineers 
makes  a  plan  of  the  works  as  exact  and  detailed  as  pospible.  and  under 
the  instructions  t»f  the  General  commanding  the  siege,  draws  up  the 
general  plan  of  the  siege,  and  discusses  it  with  the  conimandant  of  ar- 
tillery in  regard  to  the  best  employment  of  that  arm.  These  officers 
thert  submit  their  joint  or  separate  opinions  to  the  General  who  decides 
on  the  plan  of  the  siege,  and  give  the  orders  for  the  execution.  The 
commandant  of  engineers  directs  the  construction  of  all  the  works  of 
the  siege,  under  the  authority  uf  the  General,  and  lays  before  him  every 
day  a  report  of  his  of)er;iti(jns,  and  a  plan  showing  the  progress  of  the 
attack.  The  commandant  of  artillery  also  makes  daily  reports  to  the 
General  of  all  that  relates  to  his  branch  of  the  service. 

775.  The  Quartei  uiaster-General  establishes  tiie  hospitals,  and  or- 
gainzea  tlie  mrans  for  transportittg  the  wounded  to  them. 

770.  The  commanding  General  appoints  a  field  ofiicer  of  the  trenches, 
wlio  is  aided  by  one  or  two  Captains  or  Lieutei%int«. 
•  777.  The  tield  officer  of  the  tiencbes  is  cbaitred  with  all  the  details 
relative  to  the  assembling  of  the  gir.u'ds  and  the  worknien.  He  distri- 
butes the  guards  on  the  different  points  of  the  attack  agreeably  to  the 
orders  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  forms  the  detachment  of 
workmen  for  the  engineers  and  artillery ';  that  he  may  be  pjepared  A)r 
this  distribution,  he  re -eives  every  day  from  the  Adjutant  General  a 
statement  of  the  details  for  the  next  day. 

77!^.  On  the  arrival  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  the  field  f^fficer  of 
the  trer\ches  gives  him  all  the  information  necessary  to  enable  him  to 
station  the  troops,  attends  him  in  his  visit  to  the  trenches,  and  takes 
his  orders  on  the  changes  to  make  in  the  position  of  the  troops.  The 
exf»cution  is  intruste<i  to  the.commandants  of  the  txoops. 

779.  Tile  field  officer  of  the  trenches  sees  that  men  and  litters  are 
always  ready  to  bring  off  the  wounded..  One  or  more  companies  of  the 
guard.s  of  the  trenches  are  put  under  his  immediate  orders  fur  the  pre- 
servation of  order  and  police  in  the  trenches. 

780.  Thedivision«,  brigades,  regiments,  and  battalions,  are  encamped^ 
during  the  siege  in  the  order  of  battle.  The  service  of  camp  is  con- 
ducted as  heretofore  prescribed. 

7?^l.  The  infantry  has  two  kind  of  siege  service — the  guard  of  the 
trenches  and  the  workOf  the  trenches. 

782.  T.  e  guards,  of  the  trenches  mount  every  day  by  battalions,  in 
such  order  of  detail  that  all  the  troops  may  take  an  e»|ual  share,  and 
n<j  part  of  the  line  be  left  too  weak.  If  only  one  battalion  is  required, 
each  division  furnishes  it  alternately  ;  if  two  are  required,  each  divi- 
iion  givo3  one  ;  if  three,  one   division  furniehes  two,  the  other  one,  al- 


80  SiJiOES.  '      • 

ternately.     The  two  battalions  of  the  same  divisions  are  not  taken  from 
the  name  brigiide. 

783.  The  detail  for  work  of  the  trenches  is  by  company,  from  all  the 
regiments  at  one  time,  or  in  turn,  and  continues  ^.-enerally  twelve  hours. 
The  derail  from  any  regimentif  hould  never  be  less  than  a  company.  If 
•only  half  a  conipany  would  be  needed  from  all  the  regiments  at  a- time, 
every  other  regiment  furnishes  a  full  company  alternately. 

784.  The  battalions  for.  guard  are  detailed  at  least  twelve  hours  in 
advance  ;  they  furnish  no  other  details  during  this  tour.  If  the  whole 
regiment  is  called  out,  it  leaves  a  sufficient  police  guard  in.  camp. " 

785.  Twentv-four  hours,  or  twelve  at  least,  before  mounting  guard  in 
the  trenches,  the  battalions  detailed  for  guard  do  not  furnish  workmen; 
and  the  com-panies  of  these  battalions  whose  tour  it.would  have  been 
to  work  in  the  trenches  do  not  go  there  for  twenty-four  hours  after 
guard,  if  possible,  or  at  the  least  twelve. 

786.  The  workmen  who  are  required  for  other  work  than  that  of  the 
trenches,  are  taken  from  the  roster  for  fatigue  from  the  battalions  and 
companies  not  employed  in  the  trenches. 

'787.  The  battalions  first  fordetail  for  guard  of  the  trenches,  and  the 
companies  first  for  detail  ft)r  work  in  the  trenches,  furnish  no  other  de- 
tails, and  are  held  on  picket,  ready  to  march  at  the  call  of  the  field  offi- 
cer of  the  trenches. 

788.  Materials  for  the  siege,  such  as  fjiscines,  gabions,  hurdles,  pick- 
ets, &c.,  are  furnished  by  the  difi'erent  corps,  in  the  proportion  ordered 
by  the  General.  • 

789.  Guards  and  workmen  going  to  the  trenches,  march  without  beat* 
of  drum  or  music. 

790.  At  all  times,  and  especially  on  the  day  the  trenches  are  opened, 
everything  is  avoided  likely  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  enemy.  With 
this  view,  the  Gei^eral  may  vary  the  hour  of  relieving  guards. 

791.  The  chiefs  of  engineers  and  artillery  make  requisitions  for 
workmen  in  advance,  that  the  details  may  be  made  iti  time  to  prevent 
any  delay  in  the  work.  They  should  exceed  the  number  strictly  re- 
quired, that  there  may  be  a  reserve  for  unforeseen  wants.  If  this  re- 
serve is  found  insufficient,  the  General  directs  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  to  call  on  the  picket. 

"792.  Before  the  guards  and  workmen  march,  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  arranges  them  so  that  each  detachment  can  reach  its  ground 
without  confusion.  The  troops  are  posted  in  the  trenches  according  to 
the  position  of  their  regiments  in  the  order  of  battle,  and,  as  far  its 
possible,  the  companies  of  workmen  in  like  order.  The  reserves  of 
■workmen  are  placed  at  the  depot  of  the  trenches,  or  the  nearest  suita- 
ble place  to  the  works. 

795.  The  workmen  leave  their  knapsacks  and  swords  in  camp,  and 
march  with  their  fire-arms  and  ..cartridge  box,es,  which  they  place  near 
them  while  at  work.  They  always  carry  their  overcoats,  to  cover  thera 
in  resting  or  wh.en  wounded. 

794.  The  guards  always  enter  the  trenches  with  arms  irailed,  and 
the  workmen  also,  unless  tt>ey  carry  materials  or  tools,  when  the  arms 
are  in  the  sling.  .        . 

795.  The  guards  and  detachments  of  workmen  send  h  Corporal  to  the 


BIEGES.  81 

openings  of  the  trenches  to  guide  the  relief.    They  march  out  of  the 
trenchrs  by  the  flank,  with  trailed  arms.- 

796.  Stind-baf];s,  forming  loop-holes,  are  placed  at  intervals  on  the 
parapet  to  prot.vt  the  sentinels  ;  they  are  more  numerous  than  the  sen- 
tinels, so  that  the  enem^  may  not  know  where  the  sentinels  are  placed. 

797.  When  detachments  are  placed  at  night  in  advance  of  the 
trenclici,  to  cover  ihe  workmen,  the  men  sit  or  lie  down,  wirh  their 
fire-arms  in  their  hands,  to  hide  themselves  better  from  the  enemy; 
the  sentinels  put  their  ears  to  trlie  ground  frequently,  that  they  may 
hear  troops  coniing  out  of  the  place.  To  prevent  mistakes,  the  work- 
men are  told  what  troops  cover  them. 

708.  No  honors  are  paid  in  the  trenches.  When  4;he  General  com- 
manding the  siege  visits  them,  the  guards  place  themselves  h\  rear  of 
the  banquette,  and  rest  on  their  arms.  The  colors  are  never  carried 
to  the  trenches  unless  the  whole  regiment  marches  to  repulse  a  sortie 
or  make  an  assault.  Even  in  this  case,  they  are  not  displayed,  until  the 
General  commanding  the  siege  gives  a. formal  order. 

799.  The  materials  of  the  siege  of  all  kinds,  together  with  tlie  tools, 
are  collected  in  part  at  the  depots  of  the  trenches,  and  in  part  at  the 
opening  of  the  trenches,  or  in  such  other  place  as  has  been  a]ipointed 
for  the  convenience  of  the  service  by  the  field  officers  of  the  trenches,  on 
the  advice  of  the  chiefs  of  artillery  and  engineers,  Thty  are  in  charge 
of  ot^cers  of  ei^gineers  and  artillery,  with  guards  or  non-commigsioned 
otticers  of  both  corps.  But  if  these  corps  cannot  furnish  them,  the 
chiefs  apply  for  assistance  from  th%  infantry. 

800.  The  workmen,  in  going  to  the  trenches,  carry  such  tools  and 
materials  as  are  required  by  the  artillery  and  engineers.  In  this  case, 
the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  has  notice  and  .-uperintends  ft. 

801.  Th.'  soldiers  sent  to  the  trenches  go  with  their  cartridge-boxes 
filled.  Cartridges,  when  needed,  are  sent  to  the  trenches  on  the  re- 
quivsition  of  commanders  of  battalions,  approved  by  the  General  of 
the  trenches. 

802.  In  the  case  of  a  sortie,  the  guards  move  rapidly. to  the  places 
that  have  been  designated  by  the  General  of  the  trenches',  and  which 
affi)rds  the  best  deience  for  the  head  of  the  works,  the  batteries,  the  com- 
munications, or  the  flanks,  or  best  enable  them  to  take  the  sortie  itself 
in  flank'or  reverse.  Having  lined  the  banquette  to  fire  on  the  enemy, 
the  troops  form  on  the  reverse  of  the  trench  to  receive  him.  The  work- 
men take  arms,  retain  their  positions,  or  retire  with  their  tools,  as  or- 
dered. The  officers  commanding  the  detachments  of  workmen  see  that 
their  movements  are  made  promptly  and  in  good  order,  so  as  to  avoid 
all  confusioiT  in  the  communications. 

803.  The  troops  that  advance  beyond  the  trenches  to  repulse  the 
sortie,  must  nut  follow  in  pursuit  The  General  takes  care  that  they 
return  to*the  tienches  before  the  retreat  of  the  sortie  allows  the  artil- 
lery of  the  place  to  open  on  them.  When  the  workmen  return,  the 
officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  of  the  detachments  call  the  roll 
without  interrupting  the  work,  which  is  immediately  resumed. 

804.  When  it  is  necessary  to  dismount  cavalry  and  send  them  to  the 
trenches,  they  should  be  employed  as  near  their  camp  as  possible,  and 
posted l)etween  the  detachments  of  iufautry.  t 


S2-  iX>RTiriKD    PLAOfi^; 

805.  Men  belongin,^to  the  cavalry  may,  in  assaults,  be  employed  in 
carrying  fiiscines  and  other  ninterials  to  till  ditches  and  make  passages. 
.800.  The  general  (iffii;ers  of  cavalry  are  more  particularly  employed 
in  the  service  of  posts  and  detactimetit8  placed  in' observation  to  protect 
the  siege.  They  and  the  field  officers  of  tliis  arm  are  employed  in  the 
command  .of  escorts  to  ct)nvoys,  of  whatever  arms  the  escorts  may  be 
composed.  When  these  duties  are  not  sufficient  to  employ  them,  they 
take  their  share  of  the  duty  of  the  trenches. 

807.  The  officers  of  engineers  and  artillery  of  the  trenches  make  to 
the  General  of  the  trenches  a  return  of  all  losses  in  their  troof)s,  and 
such  other  reports  on  tl)e  work  as  he  requires,  in  addition  to  the  reports 
dii'ect  to  their  respective  chiefs  on  the  details  of  the  service. 

808.  At  the  end  of  eaeh  tour,  the  fiefd  o*cer  of  the  trenches  draws 
up  a  report  for  the  twenty-four  hours  to  the  General  of  the  trenches. 
The  General  of  the  trenches  reports  to  the  GeneraL  commanding  the 

.^it'ge.  *  ^ 

809.  The  commanders  of  the  several  corps  in  the  trenches  report, 
when  relieved,  to  their  respective  headquarters  the  losses  during  the 
tour,  and  the  conduct  of  the  officers  ani  men. 

810.  However  practicable  the  breach  mny  appear,  or  however  ruined 
the  work  in  rear  of  it,  the  heads  of  columns  must  always  be  supplied 
with  ladders  to  get  over  unexpected  obstacles. 

811.  The  General  commanding  the  siege  designates  picked  compa- 
nies to  protect  property  and  persons, -and  prevent  pillage  and  violence, 
from  the  moment  the  place  is  carried.  The  otticers  exert  themselves  to 
restrain  the  men. 

812.  The  General  designates  the  places  requiring  particular  protec- 
tion, such  as  churches,  asylums,  hospitals,  colleges,  schools  and  maga- 
zines. The  order  of  the'r  protection  should  remind  the  soldiers,  at  the 
time,  of  the  penalty  of  disobeying  it. 

813.  AVhether  the  place  be  t  .ken  by  assault  or  by  capitulation,  the 
provisi(ms  and  the  military  stores,  and  the  public  funds,  are  reserved 
for  the  use  of  the  army. 

814.  The  commander  of  engineers  will  keep  a  journal  of  the  siege, 
showing  the  operaticms  of  each  day  in  detail,  the  forceemployed  on  the 
work,  the  kind  and  quantity  of  materials  used  in  them,  &c.  lie  will 
also  mark  on  a  planof  the  ground  the  daily  progress  of  the  works,  and 
make  the  necessary  drawings  explanatory  of  their  construction. 

815.  The  commander  of  the  artillery  will  keep  a  daily  journal  of  the 
operations  under  his  direction,  showing  the  number  and  kind  of  pieces 
in  battery,  the  force  employed  in  servii  g  them,  the  kind  and  quantity 
of  ammunition  expended,  the  number  of  rounds  tired  from  each  piece 
of  ordnance,  the  effect  of  the  fire,  and  all  other  particulafrs  relative  to 
his  branch  of  the  service. 

,     8L6.  These  journals  and  drawings  will  be  sent  after  the-«iege,  with 
the  report  of  the  General,  to  the  War  Department. 

DE]fENCE    OF    FORTIFIED    PLACES. 

817.  In  war,  every  commander  of  a  fortified  place  shall  always  hold 
himself  prepared  with  his  plan  of  defence,  as  if  at  any  time  liable  to 
attack.  He  arranges  this  plan  according  to  the  probable  .modB  of  at- 
tack.-; determines  the  posts  of  the  troops  in  the  several  parti  of  the 


FORTIFIEB   PLAGES.  83 

works,  the  reliefs,  the  reserves,  and  the  details  of  service  in  all  the 
corps,  lie  draws  up  instructions  fur  a  case  of  attack,  and  exorcises  the 
gjirrison  acc(»rdiu^  to  his  plan  of  defence.  In  sea-coast  works  he  pro- 
vides the  instructions  for  the  different  batteries  on  the  approach  of 
ship^. 

8 1  A.  In  framing  his  plan,  he  studies  the  works  and  the  exterior  with- 
in the  radius'of  attack  and  investment,  the  strength  of  the  garrison,  the 
artillery,  the  munitions  of  war,  subsistence  and  supplies  of  all  kinds, 
and  takes  immediate  measures  to  procure  whatever  is  deficient  of  troops 
or  supplies,  either  by  requisition  on  the  Government,  or  from  the  means 
put  at  his  disposal. 

819.  On  the  approach  of  an  enemy,  he  removes  all  houses  and  other 
ohjects,  within  or  without  the  place,  that  cover  the  approaches,  or  in- 
terrupt the  fire  of  the  guns  or  the  movements  of  the  troops.  He  as- 
sures himself^  personally  that  all  posterns,  outlets,  or  embrasures,  &c.j 
are  in  proper  state  of  security. 

82(J.  He  shall  be  furni.<ihed  by  the  Department  of  War  with  a  plan'of 
tho  works,  showing  all  the  details  of  the  fortifications,  and  of  the  exte- 
rior within  the  radius  of  attack  ;  with  a  map  of  the  environs  within  the 
radius  of  investment ;  with  a  map  of  the  vicinity,  including  the  neigh- 
l oring  works,  roads,  water  chahnels,  coasts,  &c.  ;  WMth  a  memoir  ex- 
plaining the  situation  and  defence  of  the  place,  and  the  relations  and 
bearings  of  the  several  works  on  each  other,  and  on  the  approaches  by 
land  and  water — all  which  he  carefully  preserves,  and  communicates 
only  to  the  council  of  defence. 

821.  He  consults  his  next  in  rank,  and  the  senior  officer  of  the  engi- 
neers an<l  of  the  artillery,  either  separately, 'or  as  a  council  of  defence. 
In  tho  latter  case,  he  designates  an  officer  to  act  as  secretary  to  tho 
council,  and  to  record  tiieir  proceedings  and  their  joint  or  separate 
opinions,  which  are  to  be  kept  secret  during  the  siege.  The  members 
may  record  their  opinions  under  their  own  signature.  In  all  cases,  tho 
commander  decides  on  his  own  responsibility. 

822.  The  commander  of  the  place,  and  the  chiefs  of  engineers  and  of 
artillery,  shall  keep  journals  of  the  defence,  in  which  shall  be  entered, 
in  order  of  dnte,  without  blank  or  interlineation,  the  orders  given  or 
received,  the  manner  in  which  they  are  executed,  their  results,  and 
every  event  and  circumstance  of  importance  in  the  progress  of  the  de- 
fence. These  journals,  and  the  proceedings  of  the  council  of  defence, 
shall  be  sent,  after  the  siege,  to  the  Department  of  War. 

823.  There  shall  be  kept  iti  the  office  of  the  commandant  of  the  place, 
to  l>e  sentjafter  the  siege  tn  the  Department  of  War,  a  map  of  the  envi- 
rons, a  plan  of  the  fortifications,  and  a  special  plan  of  the  front  of  at- 
tack, on  which  the  chief  engineer  will  trace,  in  succession,  the  positions 
occupied,  and  the  w(^rks  executed  by  the  enemy  from  the  investment; 
and  also  the  works  of  counter  approach  of  defence,  and  tho  succest:ive 
positions  of  the  artillery  and  other  troops  of  the  garrison  during  tho 
progress  of  the  siege. 

824.  The  commander  shall  defend  in  suRcession  the  advanced  works, 
the  covered  way  and  outworks,  the  body  of  the  work,  and  the  interior 
entrenchments.  lie  will  not  be  content  with  clearing  away  the  foot  of 
the  breaches,  and  defending  them  by  abattis,  mines,  and  all  the  means 
used  in  sieges  ;  bat  he  shall  begin  in  good  time,  behind  the  bastions  or

.front  of  attacV,  the  necessary  entrenchments  to  resist  assaults  on  the 

main  work.  ^ 

825.  He  shall  use  his  means  of  deferice  in  such  manner  as  always  to 
have  a  reserve  of  fresh  troops",  chosen. Trom  his  best  soldiers,  to  resist 
assaults,  re-take  the  outworks,  and  especially  to  resist  assaults  on  .the 
body  of  the  place  ;  and  a  reserve  of  provisions  for  the  last  period  of  the 
siege,  and  of  ammunition  for  the  last  attacks. 

826.  He  must;  in  every  case,  compel  the  besieging  force  to  approach 
by  the  slow  and  successive  works  of  siege,  and  must- sustain  at  least 
one  nssault  on  a  practicable  breach  in  the  body  of  the  place. 

827.  When  the  commander  thinks  that  the  end  of  the  defence  has 
come,  he  shall  still  consult  the  count^il  of  defence  on  the  means  that 
may  remain  to  prolong  the  siege.  But  in  all  cases  he  alone'will  decide 
on  the  time,  manner,  and  terms  of  the  surrender.  In  the  capitulation, 
he  shall  not  seek  or  accept  better  terms  for  himself  thai?  for  the  garri-' 
Bon,  but  shall  share  their  fate,  and  exert  his  best  endeavors  for  the  care 
of  the  droops,  and  especially  of  the  sick  and  wounded. 

828.  No  commander  in  the  fie'd  shall  withdraw  troops  or  supplies  from 
any  fortified  place,  or  ex(>rcise  any  authority  over  its  commandant,  un- 
less it  has  been  put  subject  to  his  orders  by  competent  authority,

829.  Military  commanders  charged  with  the  embarkation  of  troops, 
and  oJEoers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  with  the  se- 
lection of  the  transports,  Avill  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  sea- 
worthy and  proper  for  such  service,  and  suitable  arrangements  are 
made  in  them  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  troops. 

830.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  officer  commanding  the  troops  to  be  em- 
barked, the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  tlx;  oificer  charged 
with  the  embarkation  shall  cause  her  to  be  inspected  by  competent  and 
experienced  persons. 

831.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be  assigned  to  quar- 
ters, equal  parties  on  both  sides  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be  al- 
lowed to  loiter  or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicable,  the 
men  of  each  company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the  vessel, 
and  the  squads,  in  the  same  manner,  to  contiguous  berths. 

832.  Arms  will  be  so  placed,  if  there  be  no  racks,  as  to  be  secure  from 
injury,  and  enable  the  men  to  handle  them  promptly  ;  bayonets  unfixed 
and  in  scabbard.  ^  * 

833.  Ammunition  in  cartridge-boxes  to  be  so  placed  as  to  be  entirely 
secure  from  fire  ;  reserve  ammunition  to  be  reported  to  the  master  of 
the  transport,  with  request  that,  he  designate  a  safe  place  of  deposit. 
Frequent  inspections  will  be  made  of  the  service  ammunition,  to  insure 
its  safety  and  good  condition. 

834.  No  ofl&cer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship,  without 
the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  board. 

835.  The  guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of  sentinels  re- 
quired. At  sea,  the  guard  will  nfount  -with  side-arins  only.  >  The  of- 
fice of  the  guard  will  be  the  officer  of  the  day.

hand,  promptly  to^extin^^uish  ^res.  Smoking  ia  prohibited  between 
decks  or  in  the  cabins,  at  all  times :  nor  shall  any  litrhta  be  allowed  be- 
tween decks  except  such  (<hip  lanterns  as  the  master  of  the  transport 
may  direct,  or  those  carried  by  the  officer  of  the  day  in  the  execution 
of  iiis  duty.  • 

837.  Regulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes  to 
cook  in  turn  ;  no  others  than  those  whose  turn  it  is  will  be  allowed  to 
loiter  round  or  approach  the  galleys  or  other  cooking  places. 

838.  The  commanding  officer  will  make  arrangements,  in  Concert 
teith  the  master  of  the  vessel,  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so  tliat 
in  case  of  alnrm,  by  storm,  or  lire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  every 
man  may  repair  promptly  to  his  station.  But  he  will  take  care  not  to 
crowd  the  deck.  The  troops  not  wanted  at  the  guns,  or  to  assist  the 
sailors,  and  those  who  cannot  be  advantageously  employed  with  small 
arms,  will  be  formed  as  a  reserve  between  decks. 

839.  All  the  troops  will  turn  out  at A.  M.,  without  arms  or 

uniforms,  and  (in«warm  weather)  without  shoes  or  stockings;  when 
every  individual  will  be  clean,  his  hauvls,  face  and  feet  washed,  and  his 
hair  combed.  The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated  thirty 
minutes  before  sunset.  The  cooks  alone  will  be  exempted  from^owe  of 
these  inspections  per  day,  if  necessary. 

84(A  Roeruirs  or  awkward  men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning  and 
evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time,  when  the  weather  will 
permit.  « 

841.  Officers    will    enforce    cleanliness   as    indispensable   to    health. 
When  the  weather  will  permit,  bedding  will  be  brought  on  dei  k  every 
morning  for  airing.     Tul)S  may  be  fixed   on  the  forecastle  for  bathing, 
or  the  men   may  be  placed  in   the  chaijis  and  have   buckets  of  water' 
thrown  over  them. 

842.  Between  decks  will  not  be  washed  ofCener  than  once  a  week,  and* 
only  when  the  weaxher  is  tine.  The  boards  of  the  lower  berths  will  be 
removed  once  or  twice  a  week  to  change  the  straw.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Surgeon  and  the  officer  of  the  day,  frequent  fumigations  will 
be  performed  between  decks.  The  materials  required  are — common 
salt,  four  ounces;  powdered  oxide  of  manganese,  one  ounc^';  sulphuric 
acid,  one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounce.n  of  water.  The  diluted  acid  ia 
poured  over  the  other  ingredients  in  a  basin  placed  in  a  hot  sand  bath. 
Solutions  of  chloride  of  lime  and  chloride  of  zinc  are  excellent  disin- 
fecting agents.  • 

843.  During  voyages  in  hot  weather,  the  master  of  the  vessel  will  he 
desired  to  provide  wind-sails,  which  will  be  kept  constantly  hung  up, 
and  frequently  examined,  to  see  that  they  diiaw  well  and  are  not  ob- 
structed. 

84-!:.  During  cooking  hours,  the  officers  of  companies  visit  the  ca- 
boose, and  see  that  the  messes  are  well  prepared.  The  coppers  and 
other  cooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  washed,  both  before 
and  after  use. 

845.  The  bedding  will  be  replaced  in  the  berths  at  sunset,  Qr  at  an 
earlier  hour  when  there  is  a  prospect-of  bad  weather  ;  and  at  tattoo 
every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.  To  insure  the  exe<;ution 
of  this  regulation,  the  officer  of  the  day,  with  a  lantern,  will  make' a 
tour  between  decks. 


86  '^TlfcOOPS   ON   BOARD   OP   TRANSPORTS. 

846.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  nt  iattoo,  exoe|H  puch  as  are  placed 
under  sentinels.  The  oft  cer  nf  the  dny  will  see  to  it.  find  report  to  the 
commanding  officer.  Tiie  officers*  lights  will  lie  extinguished  sit  10 
o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue  them  for  a  longer 
time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

847.  For  the  sake  of  exercise,  the  troops  will  be  occasionally  called 
to  quarters  hy  the  bent  to  arms.  Those  appoijited  to  the  guns  will  be 
frequently  exercised  in  the  use  of,  tliem.  The  arms  and  accoutrements 
will  be  frequently  inspected..  The  metalic  parts  of  the  former  will  be 
often  wiped  and  grea^ed  again. 

84^.  The  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  sleep  on  deck  in  hot  weather  or 
in  the  sun  ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exei;cise  on 
deck,  in  squads  by  succession,  wheu  necessary.  " 

849.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  Surgpon  will  examine  the 
men,  to  obsetve  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease. 

850.  The  sick  will,  as  far  as  j)ractical)le,  be  separated  from  the 
healthy  men.  On  the  first  appearance  of  malignant  contagion,  a  signal 
will  be  made  for  the  hospital  vessel,  (if  there  be  one  in  company,)  and 
the  diseased  men  removed  to  her. 

851.  A  good  supply  of  hospital  stores  and  medicires  will  be  taken  on 
each  ve.^sel,  and  used  only  for  tiie  sick  and  convalescent. 

852.  The  Surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  ap- 
proaching a  hot  climate.  In  passing  through  the  West  Indies  to  the 
Southern  coast,  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  softer  l{\nding  in  those 
latitudes,  great  care  is  required  in  the  use  of  fruit,  as  stiangers  would 
not  be  competent  to  judge  of  it,  and  most  kinds,  after  lung  voyages,  are 
prejudicial. 

853.  In  harbor,  where  there  is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men  may, 
bathe;  but  not  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a  boat. 

854.  In  fitting  up  a  vessel. for  the  transf'ortation  of  horses,  care  is  to 
be  taken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  aie  made  for  conveniently 
feeding  and  cleaning  tiiem,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough 
weather  by  ropes  attached  to  breast-straps  and  l>reeehing,  or  by  ot.her 
suitable  means;  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by 
openings  in  the  upper  deck,  wind-sails.^&c,  The  ventilation  of  steam- 
ers may  be  assisted  by  using  the  engine  for  that  purpose. 

855.  Horses  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exercise  or  when 
heated.  In  hoisting  them  on  board,  the  slings  should  be  made  fast  to 
a  hook" at  the  end  of  the  full,  or'the  knot  tied  by  an  expert  seaman,  so 
that  it  may  be  well  secured  and  easily  loosened.  The  horse  should  be 
run  up  quickly  to  prevent  him  foom  plunging,  and  should  be  steadied 
by  guide  ropes.  A  halter  Is  placed  on  him  before  he  is  lifted  from  the 
ground. 

856.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  that  the  horses  are  not  over- fed  ; 
*bran  should  form  part  of  their  ration.  The  face,  eyes,  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours  5  and  occasionally 
the  nianges  should  be  washed  and  the  nostrils  of  the  horse  sponged  with 
vinesiar  and  water. 

857.  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military  expedition,  the 
cargo  of  each  should  be  composed  of  an  assortment  of  such  stores  as 
may  be  available  for  service  in  case  of  the  non-arrival  of  others,  and 
they  should  be  placed  on  board  in  such  a  manner  that  they  may  be

862.  Irf  the  detail  the  ^inmbers  will  be  named,  and  they  will  take 
place  in  the  court,  in  the  order  of  |^heir  rank.  A  decision  of  the  proper 
authority  in  regard  to  the  rank  of  the  members  cannot  be  reversed  by 
the  court. 

86o.  The  place  of  holding  a  court  is  appointed  by  the  authority  con- 
vening it.         - 

864.  Application  for  delay  or  postponement  of  trial  must,  when  prac- 
ticable, be  made  to  the  authority  convening  the  court. '  When  made  to 
the  court,  it  must  b«  liefore  pica,  ar>d  will  then,  if  in  the  opinion  of  the 
court  wpM  foundf^d,  be  referred  to  the  nuthotity  convening  the  court, 
to  dei'.ida  whether  the  court  shall  be  adjourned  or  dissolved,  and  the 
chariies  reservpil  furao'  ther  court. 

805.  Upon  application  by  the  accused  for  postponement  on  the  ground 
of  absence  of  witness,  it  on;rht  distinctly  to  appear"  on  his  oath,  Ist,  that

the  witness  is  material,  and  how  ;  2d,  thatr  the  accused  has  used  due 
diligence    to  procure  his   attendance,  and    3d,  that  he   has   reasonable 
ground  ti)  believe,  and  does  believe,  ttiat  he  will  be  able  to  procure  such- 
attendance  within  a  reasonable  time  stated. 

866.  The  Prev^^ident  of  a  court-martial,  besides  his  duties  and  privi- - 
leges  as  member,  is  the  orjran  of  the  court,  to  keep  order  and  conduct 
its  business.     He  speaks  and  acts  for  the  court  in  each  case  where  the 
rule  has  been  prescribed  by  law,  regulation,  or  its  own  resolution.     In 
all  their  (leliberS,tione  the  law  secures  the  e  ,uality  of  the  members. 

867-  The  76th  A,rticle  of  War  does  not  confer  on  a  court-martial  the 
power  to  punish  its  own  members.  For  disorderly  conduct,  a  member 
is  liable  as  in  other  ofien^ies  against  military  discipline  ;  improper  words 
are  to  *e  taken  down,  and  any  disorderly  conduct  of  a  member  reported 
to  the  authority  convening  the  court. 

868.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  summon  the  necessary  witnesses  for 
the  trial  ;  but  he  shall  not  summon  any  witness  at  the  expense  of  the 
Confederate  States,  nor  any  officer  of  the  army,  without  the  order  of  the 
court,  unles-i  satisfied  that  his  testimony  is  material  and  necessary  to 
the  ends  of  justice. 

869.  Every  court-martial  shall  keep  a  complete  and  accurate  record 
of  its  proceedings,  to  be  authenticated  by  the  signatures  of  the  Presi- 
dent and  Judge  Advocate,  who  shall  also  certify,  in  like  manner,  the 
sentence  pronounced  by  the  court  in  each  case.  The  record  must  show 
that  the  court  was  organized  as  the  law  requires ;  that  the  court  and 
Judge  Advocate  were  duly  sworn  in  the  presence  of  the  prisoner;  that 
he  was  previously  asked  whether  he  had  objection  to  any  member,  and 
his  answer  thereto.  A  copy  of  the  order  appointing  the  court  will  be 
entered  on  the  record  in  each  case. 

870.  Whenever  the  same  court-martial  tries  more  prisoners  than  one, 
and  they  are  arraigned  on  separate  and  distinct  charges,  the  court  is  to 
be  sworn  at  the  commenceiiient  of  each  trial,  and  the  proceedings  in 
each  case  will  be  made  up  separately. 

871.  The  record  shall  be  clearly  and  legibly  written  ;  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, without  erasures  or  interlineations,  the  pages  to  be  numbered, 
with  a  marginof  one  inch  on  the  Feft  side  of  each  page,  and  at  the  top 
of  the  odd  and  bottom  of  the  even  pages  ;  through  this  last  margin  the 
sheets  to  be  stitched  together;  the  documents  accompanying  the  pro- 
(*eedings  to  be  noted  and  marked  in  such  a  manner  as  to  afford  an  easy 
reference. 

872.  No  recommeftdation  will  be  embraced  in  the  body  of  the  sen- ^ 
tence.  Those  members  only  who  concur  in  the  recommendation  wilf 
sign  it.

SUBSISTENCE    DEPARTMENT. 
SUPPLIES. 

1097.  Subsistence  stores  for  the  army,  unless  in  particular  and  urgent 
cases  the  Secretary  of  War  shall  otherwfse  direct,  shall  be  procured  by 
contract,  to  be  made  by  the  Commissary- General  on  public  notice,  to  be 
delivered  on  inspection  in  the  bulk,  and  at  such  places  as  shall  be  stipu- 
lated ;  the  inspector  to  give  duplicate  inspection  certificates  (see  Form 
No.  15),  and  to  be  a  legal  inspector  vvhere  there  is  such  officer.. 

1098.  Purcbases,  to  supply  such  corps  and  posts  as  by  reason  of  their 
position,  the  climate,  or  for  other  sufficient  cause,  the  Secretary  of  Wa:r 
may  specially  direct  to  be  supplied  in  that  wny,  will  be  made  in  open 
market,  on  public  notice,  from  the  lowest  bidder  who  produces  the  pro- 
per article, 

1099.  And  whenever  a  deficiency  of  subsistence  stores  makes  it  neces- 
sary to  buy  them,  the  commissary,  where  they  are  needed,  will  make  a 
requisition  for  that  purpose  on  the  proper  purchasing  commissary,  or 
buy  them  himself,  of  good  quality,  corresponding  with  the  contract. , 

IIQO.  When  subsistence  is  received  under  contract,  the  commissary 
will  receipt  for  it  on  the  inspection  ce»tificat6s  (see  Form  No.  15.)  He 
will  deliver  one  of  these  to  the  contractor,  and  forward  the  other  to  the 
Commissary-General,  with  a  report  on  the  quality  of  the  provisions  and 
the  condition  of  the  packages.  ^ 

1101.  Whenever  subsistence  stores  are  purchased,  the  advertisements 
and  bids,  and  a  copy  of  the  bill  of  purchase,  with  a  statement  of  the 
cause  of  purchase,  will  be'  forwarded  by  the  purchasing  officer  to  the 
Commissary-General.  This  rule  does  not  apply  to  the  ordin^iry  pur- 
chase of  hospital  supplies.  Pork,  salt  beef,  and  flour  must  be  inspected 
before  purchase  by  a  legal  inspector  where  there  is  such  officer.  Dupli- 
cate certificates  of  inspection  (see  Form  No.  15)  will  be  taken  as  sub- 
vouchers  to  the  vouchers  for  the  payment. 

1102.  Fresh  beef,  when  it  can  be  procured,  shall  be  furnished  as  often 
as  the  commanding  officer  may  order,  at  least  twice  a  week;  to  be  pro- 
cured by  the  commissary,  when  practicable,  tey  contract.  (For  form  of 
contract  and  bond,  see  Forms  27  and  28.  When  beef  is  taken  on  the 
hoof,  it  will  be  accounted  for  on  the  provision  return  by  the  number  of 
cattle  and  their  estimated  weight.  When  the  pasture  is  insufficient, 
hay,  corn,  and  other  forage  will  be  procured  for  public  cattle. 

1103.  Good  and  sufficient  store-room  for  the  •subsistence  stores  will 
be  procured  by  the  commissary  from  the  Quartermaster.  Care  shall  be 
taken  to  keep  the  store-rooms  dry  and  ventilated.  Packages  shall  be  so 
stored  as  to  allow  circulation  of  air  among  and  beneath  them.  The 
flour  should  occasionally  be  rolled  out  into  the  air. 

1104.  Before  submitting  damaged  commissary  stores  to  boards  of  sur- 
vey, the  commissary  shall  separate  and  re-pack  sound  parts. 

1105.  Wastage  on  issues,  or  from  evaporation  or  leakage,  will  be  as- 
certained quarterly,  or  when  it  can  be  most  conveniently ;  and  the  ac- 
tual wastage  thus  found  will  be  charged  on  the  monthly  return.  Loss, 
from  whatever  cause,  exceeding  oj-dinary  waste,  must  be  accounted  for 
by  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  or  other  satisfactory  evidence.  Ordi- 
nary waste  on  issues  should  not  exceed  say  10  per  cent,  on  pork,  bacon, 


SUBSISTENCE  DEPARTMENT*  191 

sugar,  vinegar,  and  soap,  and  5  per  cent,  on  hard  bread,  beans,  rice, 
coffee,  and  salt. 

1106.  No  wastage  is  admitted  on  issues  of  fresh  beef  furnished  the 
company  detachment,  or  regiment,  directly  from  the  butcher.  But  in 
beef  on  the  hoof,  errors  in  estimated  weight,  and  losses  on  cattle  stray- 
ed or  stolen,  will  be  accounted  for  by  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  or 
other  satisfactory  evidence/  When  cattle  are  transferred,  they  should 
be  appraised,  and  loss  in  weight  reported  as  wastage  by  the  officer  de- 
livering them.  Fair  wastage  in  transportation  of  stores  is  accounted 
for  by  the  receiving  officer. 

THE    RATION.      - 

1107.  The  ration  is  three-fourths  of  a  pound  of  pork  or  bacon,  or  one 
and  a  fourth  pounds  of  fresh  or  salt  beef;  eighteen  ounces  of  bread  or 
flour,  or  twelve  ounces  of  hard  bread,  or  one  and  a  foiirtK  pounds  of 
corn  meal ;  %nd  at  the  rate,  to  one  hundred  rations  of  eight  quarts  of 
peas  or  beans,  or,  in  lieu  thereof,  ten  pounds  of  rice;  six  poutids  coffee; 
twelve  pounds  sugar;  four  quarts  of  vinegar;  one  and  a  half  pounds 
of  tallow,  or  one  and  a  fourth  pounds  adamantine,  or  one  pound  sperm 
candles :  four  pounds  of  soap,  and  two  quarts  of  salt. 

Modification  of  Ration. — Ilenceforth  the  Ration  will  be  a  pound  of 
Beef  or  a  half  pound  of  Bacon  or  Pork  ;  and  the  ration  of  Flour  or 
Meal  will  not  exceed  a  pound  and  a  half  of  either.  Commissaries  are 
again  instructed  to  save  all  the  Tallow  they  can,  to  be  used  in  place  of 
Lard. 

1108.  The  annexed  table  shows  the  quantity  of  each  part  of  the  'i- 
tion  in  any  number  of  rations  from  one  to  ten  thousand.* 

1109.  On  a  campaign,  ©r  on  marches,  or  on  board  of  transports,  the 
ration  of  hard  bread  ia  one  pound. 

ISSUES. 

1110.  Returns  for  issue?  to  companies,  will,  when  practicable,  be  con- 
solidated ior  the  post  or  regiment  (see  Form  14).  At  the -end  of  the 
month,  the  issuing  commissary  will  make  duplicate  abstracts,  of  the 
issues,  whiph  the  commanding  officer  will  compare  with  the  original 
returns,  and  certify  (see  Form  2).  This  abstract  is  a  voucher  of  the 
issue  for  the  monthly  return. 

1111.  Issues  to  the  hospital  will  be  on  returns  by  the  medical  officer, 
for  such  provisions  only  as  are  actually  required  for  the  sick  and  the 
attendants.  The  cost  of^such  parts  of  the  ration  as  are  issued  will  be 
charged  to  the  hospital  at  contract  or  cost  prices,  and  the  hospital  will 
be  credited  by  the  whole  number  of  complete  rations  due  throagh  the 
month  at  contract  or  cost  prices  (see  Note  7) ;  the  balance,  constituting 
the  Hospital  Fund,  or  any  portion  of  it,  may  be  expended  by  the  com- 
missary, on  the  requisition  of  the  medical  officer,  in  the  pWfcH«se  of  any 
article  for  the  Bubsistence  or  comfort  of  the  sick,  not  atrthorized  to  be 
otherwise  furnished  (see  Form  3).  At  large  depot#or  general  hospitals, 
this  fund  may  be  partly  expended  for  the  benefit  of  dependent  posts  or 
detachments,  on  tequmtions  approved  by  the  »«<*icfill4irector  or  senior 
Surgeon  of  the  district.  The  ttitioi*  5s«a§<!  to  hospitals,  will  not  here- 
after be  subject  to  the  reduction  authorized  April  28rh,  1862,  but  will 
remain  as  prescribed,  by  paragraph  1107. 


192  SUBSISTENCE  DEPARTMENT. 

1112.  The  articles  purchased  for  the  hospital,  as  well  as  those  issued 
from  the  subsistence  store-house,  will  be  included  in  the  Surgeon's  cer- 
tificates of  issues  to  the  hospital,  and  borne  on  the  monthly  return  of 
provisions  received  and  issued.  Vouchers  for  purchases  for  the  hospital 
must  either  be  certified  by  the  Surgeon,  or  accompanied  by  his  requisi- 
tion. , 

1113.  Abstracts  of  the  issues  to  the  hospital  will  be  made  by  the  com- 
missary certified  by  the  Surgeon,  and  countersigned  by  the  command- 
ing officer  (see  Form  3). 

1114.  In  order  that  the  authorized  women  of  companies  may  draw 
their  rations  while  temporarily  separated  from  their  companies,  the  of- 
ficer commanding  the  company  must  make  a  report  to  the  commanding 
officer  of  the  post  where  the  women  may  be  left,  designating  such  as 
are  to  draw  rations  as  attached  to  his  company.  Their  rations  are  not 
commuted,  and  they  can  only  draw  them  at  a  military  pftst  or  station 
where  thore  are  supplies. 

1115.  When  provisions  can  be  spared  from  the  military  supplies, 
commanding  officers  have  discretion  to  order  issues  tp  Indians  visiting 
military  posts  on  the  frontiers,  or  in  their  respective  nations,  and  to 
order  sales  of  subsistence  to  Indian  agents  for  issues  to  Indians.  The 
returns  for  issues,  wher«  there  is  no  Indian  agent,  will  be  signed  by  the 
commanding  afficer.  The  sales  will  be  for  cash,  at  cost,  including  all 
expenses ;  to  be  entered  on  the  monthly  return,  and  credited  on  the 
quarterly  account  current.

dles, per  month,  may  be  made  to,  the  principal  guard  of  each  camp  and 
garriiion,  on  the  order  of  the  commanding  officer.  Extra  issues  of  soap, 
candUs  and  vinegar,  are  permitted  to  the  hospital  when  the  Surgeon 
does  not  atail  himself  of  the  commutation  of  the  hospital  ^rations,  or 
when  there  is  no  hospital  fund;  salt  in  small  quantities  may  be  issued 
for  public  horfies  and  cattle.  .When  the  officers  of  the  Medical  Depart; 
ment  find  tnti-ecorbutics  necessary  for  the  health  of  the  troops,  the  com- 
manding officer  may  order  issues  of  fresh  vegetables,  pickled  onions, 
sour  krout  or  molasses,  with  an  extra  quantity  of  rice  and  vinegAr. 
(Potatoes  are  usually  issued  at  the  rate  of  one  pound  per  ration,  and 
onions  at  the  rate  of  three  bushels  in  lieu  of  one  of  beans.)  Occasional 
issues  (eitra)  of  molaBses  are  made — twp  quarts  to  one  hundred  rations 
— and  of  Ifitd  apples,  of  from  one  to  one  and  a  half  bushels  to  one 
hundred  nations.  Troops  at  sea  are  recommended  to  draw  rice  and  an 
extra  i.-<sue  of  wiolasftfes  in  lieu  of  beans.  When  anti-scorbutics  are  is- 
sued, the  aie^ieal  t>ffiecr  will  certify  the  necessity,  and  the  circumstances 
which  caune  it,  upon  the  abstract  of  extra  issu»!S,  (see  Form  4). 

1118.  When  eien  J«atc  their  company,  the  rations  they  have  drawn, 
and  left  with  it,  will  be  <«dncted  from  the  next  return  for  the  company; 
a  like  rule  when  men  4re  discharged  from  the  hotpital  will  govern  the 
haspital  return.  Inatmueh  mn  the  Regulations  coacaraiag  the  issue  of

1145.  Duplicate  originala  of-all  contracts  on  account  of  subsisi 
tence  will  be  sent  to  the  Com missary-Generars"  office  through  the  prin- 
cipal Commissary  of  Subsistence  of  the  Military  Department  in  which 
the  contract  is  made.  The  place  of  residence  of  each  surety  to  the  bond 
must  be  named  therein  .with  particularity.  Where  the  form  is  pre- 
scribed it  will  be  followed;  in  all  cases  contracts  must  be  drawh-up 
;ind  executed  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law.  Every  contract, 
whether  for  services  or  for  the  furnishing  of  supplies,  which  contem- 
plates a  partial  performance,  from  time  tp  time,  continuing  until  the 
whole  duty  is  performed,  or  the  whole  delivery  of  the  enumerated  arti- 
cles is  eifected,  must  provide  in  express  terms  for  its  earlier  termina- 
tion, if  the  Commissary-General  shaU  so  direct. 

1146.  Estimates  for  fuads  must  be  rendered  in  duplicate. 

1147.  In  order  to  establish  an  invariable  rule  for  ascertaining  the 
nett  weighl  of  beef  cattle  received  on  the  hoof,  the  following  mode  is 
adopted,  r.nd  for  the  future,  in  nil  cases  will  be  observed^: 

1.  When  practicable,  cattle  presented  for  acceptance  must  be  weighed 
upon  the  scales.  From  the  iive  weight  of  a  steer,  thus  ascertained,  his 
nett  weight  shall  be  determined  by  deducting  forty  five  peiJ  centum, 
when  his  gross  weight  exceeds  thirteen  hundred  (1300)  pounds,  and 
fifty  per  centum  when  it  is  less  than  that  and  not  under  eight  hundred 
<8d0)  pounds. 

2.  When  i^ii' impracticable  to  "v^eigh  upon  the  scales,  one  or  more 
average  steers  must  be  selected,  killed  and  dressed  in  the  usUal  manner. 
The  average  nett  weight  of  these  (neck  and  shanks  excluded)  will  be 
accepted  as  the  average  nett  weight  of  the  herd.  In  all  written  instru- 
ments for  the  delivery  of  cattle  on  the  hoof,  the  manner  prescribed 
above,  for  ascertaining  nett  weight,  must,  in  express  terms,  be  inserted  ; 
in  verbal  agreements,  it  must  bo  understood  and  accepted  by  the  party 
delivering  the  cattle.  Vouchers  for  the  payments  of  cattle  will  slate 
the  manner  pursued  in  determining  their  nett  weight,  except  where 
payment  has  been  made  on  the  ccrtificate^of  an  ofi&cer,  in  which  case 
the  certificate  will  state  the  mode  followed. 

3.  With  a  view  to  the* prevention  of  losses,  now  so  frequently  occur- 
ring, from  overestimating  the  weight  of  cattle  received  on  the  hoof, 
the  serious  attention  of  officers  and  agents  serving  in  this  depsA'tment, 
is  specially  called  to  the  exercise  of  greater  care  in  the  discharge  of 
this  important  duty. 

1148.  When  fresh  beef  can  be  provided,  it  will  be  issued  tg  the  troops 
five  times  per  week.  When  the  circumstances  are  favorable, -and  it  can 
be  done  with  advantage  to  the  Government,  the  Subsistence  Department 
will  keep  beef  cattle  to  supply  the  issues. 

1149.  The  following  issues  and  substitutions  maybe  made:  When, 
from  excessive  fatigue  or  exposure,  the  commffnding  officer  may  deem 
it  necessary,  ke  may  direct  the  issue  of  whiskey  to  the  enlisted  men  of 
his  command,  not  to  exceed  a  gill  per  man  for  each  day.  Tea  may  be 
issued  in  lieu  of  coffee,  at  the  rate  of  orte  and  a  half  pounds  per  one 
hundred  rations.     Two  "issues"  per  week  of  "desiccated  vegetables," 

»  may  be  made  in  lieu  of  "  beans"  or  "  rice."  Potatoes  and  onions,  when 
issued,  will  always  be  in  lieu  of  -rice  or  beans.  Potatoes  at  the  rate  of 
a  pound  per  ration  ;  onions  at  the  rate  of  three  pec^s  per  hundred  ra- 
tions.    A  daily  ration  of  fresh  vegetables  will  be  furnished  to  all  the

troops  "wheifever  the  same  can  be  proTided  at  reasonable  cost  and 
charges  to  the  government.  Chaplains  in  the  army  are  allowed  the 
same  rations  as  privates,  to  be  issued  or  commuted  to  them  as  they  may 
desire.'  If  commuted,  twenty-five  cents -per  ration  while  in  the  field, 
and  sixty  cents  per  ration  while  stationed  in  a  city,  may  be  allowed 
them.  Four  women  will  be  allowed  to  each  conipany  as  washer-wo- 
men, also  four  cooks,  and  will  receive  one  ration  per  day  each.

who  is  not  known  to  be  temperate,  honest,  and  in  every  way  reliable,  as 
well  as  sufficiently  intelligent,  and  skilled  in  pharmacy,  for  the  proper 
discharge  of  the  responsible  duties  likely  to  be  devolved  upon  hira. 
Until  this  is  kuoton,  he  will  be  appointed  an  acting  steward  by  the  med- 
ical officer,  with  the  approval  of  the  commanding  officer,  and  will  be 
entitled  to  the  pay  .and  allowances  of  hospital  steward. 

1221.  Hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  whenever 
stationed  in  places  whence  no  post  return  is  made  to  the  Adjiitnot-Gen- 

.eral's  office,  or  vdiea  on  furlough,  will,  at  th-e  end  of  ever^  month, .re- 
port themselves,  by  letter,  to  the  Adjutant  and  I nsfpec tor- General  and 
Surgeon  General,  as  well  as  to  the  Medical  Director  of  the  military  de- 
partment in  which  they  may  be  serving  ;  to  each  of  whom  they  will 
also  report  each  new  asiignment  to  duty,  or  change  of  station,  ordered 
in  their  case,  noting  carefully  the  number,  date,  and  source  of  the  order 
directing,  the  same.  They  will  likewise  report  monthly,  when  oq  fur- 
lough, to  the  Medical  officer  in  charge  of  the  hospital  to  which  they 
are  attached. 

.  1222,  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courte-martial  are  the  same 
^ith  reference  to  hospital  stewards  as  in  the  cases  of  other  enlisted 
men.  When,,  however,  a  hospital  steward  is  sentenced  by  an  inferior 
court  jfeo -be  reduced  to  the  rankH,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  be  ap- 
proved by  the  reviewing  offitjer,  will  not  be  carried  into  eflPect  until  th« 
ease  has  been  referred  to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In 
these  cases  of  reduction,  the  applicatJfJn  of  the  man  for  discharge  from 
service,  though  not  recognised  as  of  right,  will  generally  be  regarded  with 
favor,  if  his  offence  has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  especially 
when  he  has  not  been  rpcenfly  promoted  from  the  ranks. 
.  1223.  As  the  hospital  stewards,  appointed  by, the  Secretary  of  War, 
are  permanently  attached  to  the  Medical  Department,  their  accounts  of 
pay,  clothing,  &c.,  must  be  kept  by  the  medical  officers  under  .whose 
immediate  direction  they  are  serving,  who  are  also  responsiole  for  cer- 
tified statements  of  such  accounts,  and  correct  descriptive  lists  of  such 
stewards,  to  accompany  them  in  case  of  transfer  ;  iis,  also,  that  'their 
final  statements  and  certificfates  of  discharge  are  accurately  made  out, 
when  they  are  at  length  discharged  from  service..

or  a  company,  garrison  or  detachment,  shall  make  a  report  every  two 
months  to  the  Ordnance  Bureau,  stating  all  dajnages  to  arms,  equijT-

UNSERVICEABJJE   ORDNANCE    STORES. 

1312.  Whenever  ordnance  or  ordnance  stores  are  reported  unser- 
viceable, they  shall  be  examined  by  an  Inspector  General,  or  some  other 
officer  specially  designated  by  the  Secretary  of  War  for  that  purpose, 
who  will  note  on  the  inventory  such  as  he  condemns  and  such  as  he  con- 
siders repairable.  (See  form  No.  13.)  He  shall  recommend  the  stores 
condemned  by  him  either  to  be  broken  up  at  the  arsenal,  depot,  or  mili- 
tary post,  or  to  be  sold,  as  maybe  deemed  most  advantageous  to  the  pub- 
lic service ;  but  should  it  appear  to  the  inspector  that  the  ordnance  or 


300     -  oRDNANca  departmen:?. 

ordnance  stores  condemned  are  ot  too  little  value  to  cover  the  expense  of 
sale  or  breaking  up,  he  shall  recommend  them  to  be  dropped  from  the 
return  as  useless.  Such  arms  and  stores  as  the  inspector  may  consider 
repairable  he  shall  direct  either  to  be  repaired  at  the  arsenal,  depot,  or 
military  post,  or  to  be  transported  to  the  nearest  or  most  convenient 
arsenal  or  depot  of  construction  or  repairs.  The  list  of  condemned  stores 
(see  form  No.  10)  with  the  remarks  and  opinion  of  the  inspector,  shall  be 
made  in  duplicate,  and  forwarded  to  the  Chief  of  Ordnance  for  the  fur- 
ther action  of  the  President  of  the  Confederate  States.  The  inventory 
shall  be  left  with  the  officer  having  charge  of  the  ordnance  and  ord- 
nance Stores.

of  the  Confederate  States  shall  be  disposed  of  at  public  auction,  under 
the  superintendence  of  such  officers  as  may  be  designated  f#r  that  pur- 
pose by  the  Chief  of  Ordnance,  due  public  notice  being  given  of  the 
sale.  An  authorized  auctioneer  shall  be  employed,  and  the  sale  shall  be 
conducted  in  conformity  with  the  established  usages  of  the  place  where 
made. 

1314.  An  officer  directing  a  sale  of  unserviceable  ordnance  stores  will 
cause  the  articles  to  be  offered  in  such  lots  as  he  may  think  will  com- 
mand the  best  prices  ;  and  he  is  authorized  to  bid  in  or"  suspend  the 
sale  of  any  articles  when,  in  his  opinion,  they  will  command  better  prices 
at  private  sale.  No  article  shall  be  sold  at  private  sale  until  after  it 
shall  have  been  offered  at  auction,  nor  then  at  a  price  less  than  tkat 
offered  'at  public  sale. 

1315.  All  sales  shall  be  for  cash.  The  auctioneer  shall  make  certain 
bills  of  sale  of  the  property  and  deliver  them  to  the  superintending  offi- 
cer, to  whom  the  money  shall  be  paid  on  delivery  of  the  property.  AlF 
expenses  of  the  sale  shall  be  paid  from  the  proceeds.  The  auctioneer's 
certified  account  of  sales  in  detail,  and  the  vouchers  for  the  expenses  of 
the  sale,  shall  be  forwarded  to  the  ordnance  office  unconnected  with 
quarterly  accounts,  whence,  after  examination  apd  record,  they  shall  be 
transmitted  to  the  proper  auditor  for  settlement;  the  nett  proceeds  of 
the  sale  shall  be  disposed  of  in  such  manner  as  the  Chief  of  Ordnance 
shall  direct.

zed officer  of  the  regular  troops,  w-ho  shall,  at  the  same  time,  critically

the  amount  of  said  loss  or  damage,  according  to  the  rates  established  by 
the  Ordnance  Bureau,  to  each  individual,  opposite  to  his  name  on  the 
muster  roll,  which  amount  the  paymaster  shall  deduct  from  the  pay  due 
each  individual  at  the  time  of  his  discharge.  And  it  shall  be  the  duty

coutrements, ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  in  the  possession  of  the 
regiment,  battalion,  company  or  detachment,  and  to  give  duplicate  re- 
ceipts for  the  same  to  the  commander  thereof,  in  order  that  he  may  set- 
tle his  accounts  with  the  Oidnaoce  Bureau. 

1318.  No  payments  shall  be  made  to  any  militia  called  into  the  ser- 
vice of  the  Confederate  States  until  they  shall  have  been  mustered,  and

require  the  affidavit  of  some  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer,  testify- 
ing to  the  unavoidable  circumstances  of  the  loss,  and  such  affidavit,  if 
deemed  satisfactory,  shall  be  sufficient  authority  for  the  inspecting  offi- 
cer to  rislieve  the  individual  who  shall  have  been  charged  with  the  loss 
from  all  charges  on  account  of  such  loss,  which  shall  be  entered  with

RECRUITING     SERVICE.  '  385 

1389.  Funds  and'supplies  of  clothing,  camp  and  g^rison  equipage, 
arms  and  accoutrements,  when  ordered,  will  be  sent  direct  to  each  sta- 
tion, 

1390.  The  superintendents  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector 
General  consolidated  moj^thly  returns  of  the  recruiting  parties  under 
their  superintendence,  according  to  directions  on  the  printed  blanks, 
accompanied  by  one  copy  of  tlie  enlistment  of  each  recruit,  enlisted 
within  the  month.  Also  a  quarterly  return  of  deceased  solaiers  to  the 
Adjutant  iind  Inspector  General  and  Second  Auditor. 

1391.  When  recruits  should  bo  sent  to  regiments,  a  superintendent 
will  report  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  for  instructions  in 
reference  thereto.  .  • 

1392.  When  recruits  are  sent  from  a  depot  or  rendezvous  to  a  regi- 
ment or  post,  a  muster  and  descriptive  roll,  and  an  account  of  clothing  of 
the  detachment,  will  be  given  to  the  ofiBcer  assigned  to  the  command  of 
it ;  and  a  duplicate  of  the  muster  and  descriptive  roll  will  be  forwarded 
ta  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  by  the  superintendent,  who  will 
note  on  it  the  names  of  all  the  officers  on  duty  with  the  detachment,  and 
the  day  of  its  departure  from  the  depot  or  rendezvous. 

1393.  The  superintendent  will  report  all  commissioned  or  non-com- 
missioned officers  who  may  be  incapable  ox  negligent  in  the  discharge 
of  their  functions.  AVhere  a  recruiting  party  fails  to  get  recruits  from 
any  cause  other  than  the  fault  of  tiie  officer,  the  superintendent  will 
recommend  another  station  for  the  party. 

1394.  When  a  rendezvous  is  closed,  the  superintendent  will  give  the 
necessary  instructions'  for  the  safe-keeping  or  disposal  of  the  public 
property,  so  as  not  to  involve  any  expense  for  storage. 

1395.  Tours  of  inspection  by  superintendents  will  be  made  only  on 
instructions  from  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  Office.  Officers 
on  the  recruiting  service  will  not, be  sent  from  place  to  place  without 
orders  from  the  same  source. 

DUTIES   OF    RECRUITING    OFFICERS. 

1396.  Success  in  obtaining  recruits  depends  much  on  the  activity 
and  pcrsojial  attention  of  recruiting  officers,  and  they  will  not  entrust 
to  enlisted  men  the  duties  for  which  themselves  only  are  responsible. 
They  will  in  no  case  absent  themselves  from  their  stations  without  au- 
thority from  the  superintendent. 

1397.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  allow  any  man  to  be  deceived  or  in- 
veigled into  the  service  by  false  representations,  but  will  in  person  ex- 
plain the  nature  of  the  service,  the  length  of  the  teru),  the  pay,  cloth- 

,  ing,  rations,  and  other  allo\v;ances  to  which  a  soldier  ia  entitled  by  law, 
to  every  man  before  he  signs  the  enlistment.  If  minors  present  them- 
selves, they  are  to  be  treated  with  great  candor ;  the  names  and  resi- 
dences of  their  parents  or  guardians,  if  they  Have  any,  must  be  ascer- 
tained, and  they  will  bo  informed  of  the  minor's  wish  to  enlist,  that 
they  may  make  their  objections  or  give  their  consent. 

1398.  With  the  sanction  of  superintendents,  recruiting  officers  may 
insert  in  not  exceeding  two  newspapers,  brief  notices  directing  atten- 
tion to  the  rendezvous  for  further  .information. 

1399.*  Any  free  white  male  person  above  the  age  of  eighteen  and  un- 
der thirty-five  years,  Ijcing  at  least  Ave  feet  four  and  a  half  inches  high, 
17 


886  RECRUITING     SERYICE. 

effective,  able-bodied,  sober,  free  from  disease,  of  good  character  and 
habits,  and  able  to  speak  aud  understand  t^^cZHhe  English  language, 
may  be  enlisted.  This  regulation,  so  ftir  as  respects  the  height  and  age 
of  the  recruit,  shall  not  extend  to  musicians,  or  to  soldiers  who  may 
*'  re-enlist,"  or  have  served  honestly  and  failj^ifullj  a  previous  enlist- 
ment in  the  army, 

1400.  No  person  under  the  age  of  twenty-one  years  is  to  be  enlisted 
without  the  written  consent  of  his  parent,  guardian,  or  master.  The 
recruiting  ofl&cer  must  be  very  particular  in  ascertaining  the  true  age 
of  the  recruit,  and  will  not  accept  him  when  there  is  a  doubt  of  his 
being  of  age. 

1401.  After  th*e  nature  of  the  service  and  terms  of  enlistment  have 
been  fairly  explained  to  the  recruit,  the  oflBcer,  before  the  enlistments 

'are  filled  up,  will  read  to  him,  and  offer  for  his  signature,  the  annexed 
declaration,  to  be  appended  to  each  copy  of  his  enlistment : 

I, ,  desiring  to  enlist  in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States 

for  the  period  of  five  years,  do  declare  that  I  am^ years  and 

months  of  age ;  that  I  have  neither  wife  nor  child;  that  I  have  never 
been  discharged  from  the  Confederate  States  service  on  account  of  dis- 
ability, or  by  a  sentence  of  a  court  martial,  or  by  order  before  the  expi- 
ration of  a  term  of  enlistment ;  and  I  know  of  no  impediment  to  my 
serving  honestly  and  faithfully  as  a  soldier  for  five  yeuru. 


Witness : 


1402.  If  the  recruit  be  a  minor,  his  parent,  guirdian,  or  master  must 
sio-n  a  consent  to  his  enlisting,  which  will  be  added  to  the  preceding 
declaration,  in  the  following  form  : 

I, ,  do  certify   that  lam  the  [father,  only  surviving  'parent ^ 

legal  master,  or  guardian)  of  — '—;  that  the  said  — — ■  is years  of 

age  ;  and  I  do  hereby  freely  give  my  consent  to  his  enlisting  as  a  soldier 
in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States  fur  the  period  of  five  years. 


Witness : 


1403.  Th«  forms  .of  declaration,  and  of  consent  in'  case  of  a  minor, 
having  been  signed  and  witnessed,  the  recruit  will  then  be  duly  in- 
spected by  the  recruiting  officer,  and  surgeon,  if  one  be  present,  and 
if  accepted,  the  20th  and  87th  Articles  of  War  will  be  rea(^  to  him  ; 
after  which  he  will  be  allowed  time  to  consider  the  subject  until  his 
mind  appears  to  be  fully  made  up  before  the  oath  is  administered  to 
him. 

1404.  As  soon  as  practicable,  and  at  least  within  six  days  after  his 
enlistment,  the  following  oath  will  be  administered  to  the  recruit: 

♦♦  I,  A —  B — ,  do  solemnly  swear  or  aflBrm,  (as  the  case  may  be,)  that 
I  will  bear  true  allegiance  to  the  Confederate  States  of  America,  and 
that  I  will  serve  them  honestly  and  faithfully  against  all  their  enemiet 
or  opposers  whatsoever,  and  observe  and  obey  the  orders  of  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Confederate  States,  and  the  orders  of  the  officers  appointed 
over  me,  according  to  the  rule^and*  articles  for  the  ^oveynment  of  tho 
armies  of  the  Confederate  States."     (See  10th  Art.  War.)   - 


RECRUITING    SERVICE.  387 

UOj.  Under  the  Article  of  War  above  cit-ed,  a  justice  of  the  peace, 
the  ciiief  mngistrate  of  any  town  or  city  corporate,  (not  being  an  officer 
of  the  Army,)  a  notary  public,  or  when  recourse  cannot  be  had  to  such 
ci\il  magistrates,  a  judge  advocate,  or  any  commissioned  officer  of  the 
army,  may  administer  the  above  oath.    ^ 

14(J6.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  recruiting  officer  to  be  present  at  the  in- 
spection of  tiie  recruit  by  the  medical  officer.  In  passing  a  recruit  the

all  i)is  limbs;  that  his  chest  is  ample;  that  his  hearing,  vision,  and

cicatrized  legs  ;  no  rupture  or  chronic  cutaneous  afiection  ;  that  he  has 
not  received  any  contusion,  or  wound  of  the  head,  that  may  impair  his 
faculties  ;  tliat  he  is  not  a  drunkard  ;  is  not  subject  to  convulsions  ;  and 
has  no  infectious  disorder,  nor  any  other  that  may  unfit  him  for  milita- 
ry service. 

1407.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  employ  private  physicians,  without 
authority  from  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  office,-  for  the  spe- 
cial purpose  of  inspecting  the  recr-uits  prior  to  their  enlisting. 

1408.  If  it  be  necessary,  as  in  the  case  of  sickness,  to  employ  a  phy- 
sician, the  recruiting  officer  may  engage  his  services  by  contract,  on 
reasonable  terms',  by  the  visit,  or  by  the  month.  If  by  the  month,  the 
inspection  of  the  recruits  must  I)e  stated  in  the  contract  as  part  of  hia 
duty.     The  physician  will  be  paid  from  the  recruiting  funds.

quarterly  accounts,  (paragraph  1280,  No.  1,)  a  second  to  the  superin- 
tendent with  his  monthly  return,  (paragrapli  1280,  No.  6,)  and  a  third 
to  the  depot  at  the  same  time  the  recruits  are  sent  there.  In  cases  of" 
Boldiers  re-enlisted  in  a  regiment,  or  of  regimental  recruits,  the  third 
copy  of  the  enlistment'will  be  sent  at  its  date  to  regimental  headquar- 
ters for  file. 

1410.  When  ordnance  f^rgeants  re-enlist,  the  recruiting  officer  will 
immediately  send  the  second  copy  of  the  enlistment  direct  to  the  Adju- 
tant General,  and  the  third  copy  to  the  station  of  the  ordnance  sergeant 
for  file. 

i.411.  A  non-commissioned  officer,  musician,  or  private  soldier,  who 
may  re-enlist  into  his  company  or  regiment  within  two  months  before, 
or  one  month  after  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  service,  shall  receive 
rt  b'Minty  of  three  months'  extra  pay — that  ia  to  say,  the  pay  he  was  re- 
ceiving as  pay  of  his  grade,  and  as  additional  pay  for  length  of  S'ervice 
and  for  certificate  of  merit.  This  bounty  shall  be  paid  by  the  recruit- 
ing officer  at  tiie  time  of  enlistment,  and  noted  on  the  descriptive  list, 
and  timely  notice  of  probable  re-enlistments  in  a  company  must  be 
given  beforehand  to  the  proj^er  autiiority,  that  the  necessary  funds  may 
be  provided.  Ordnance  sergeants  and  hospital  stewards  are  non  com- 
missioned officers  entitled  to  the  bounty  in  the  case  provided. 

1412.  Enlistments  must,  in  no  case,  bo  antedated  so  as  to  entitle  a 
soldier  to  bounty  who  applies  after  the  period  allowed  for  "  re-enllat- 
ing"  hivs  expired. 

1413.  A  premium  of  two  dollars  will  be  paid  to  any  citizen,  non-

1414.  Tlie  recruiting  officer  will  see  that  the  men  under  his  command  '^ 
hre  neat  in  their  personal  appearance,  and  will  require  the  permanent 
party  to  wear  their  military^ress  in   a  becoming  manner,  especially 
when  permitted  to  go  abroad. 

1415.  Only  sux;h  articles  of  clothing  as  are  indispensable  for  immedi- 
ate use,  will  be  issued  to  recruits  at  the  rendezvous.  Their  equipment 
will  not  be  made  complete  till  after  they  have  passed  the  inspection 
subsequent  to  their  arrival  at  fhe  depot. 

1416.  The  instruction  of  the  recruits  will  commence  at  the  rendez- 
vous from  thcf  moment  of  enlistment.  The  general  superintendent  will 
see  that  all  recruiting  officers  oiv6  particular  attention  to  this  sulyect. 

1417.  Recruits  will  be  sent  from  rendevzous  to  depots  every  ten  days, 
or  oftener,  if  practicable,  provided  the.number  disposable  exceeds  three.   . 
The  detachments  of  recruits  will  be  sent  from  rendezvous  to  depots  un- 
der charge  of  a  non-commissioned  officer. 

1418.  Commutation  for  fuel  and  quarters,  when  allowed,  is  paid  from 
the  recruiting  funds  on  the  usual  vouchers  receipted  by  the  officer  him- 
self. 

1419.  Every  officer  commanding  a  recruiting  party  will  procure  tho 
necessary  transportation,  forage,  fuel,  straw,  and  stationery,  taking  the 
requisite  vouchers;  but  no  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  is  to  be 
allowed  to  beco'me  a  contractor  for  the  supplying  of  any  article  which 
may  be  required. 

1420.  The  transportation  of  recruits  to  depots,  and  from  one  recruit- 
ing station  to  another,  will'be  paid  from  the  recruiting  funds;  trans- 
portation of  officers  and  enlisted  men  on  the  recruiting  service  will  b© 
paid  in  the  same  manner,  except  when  first  proceeding  to  join  that  ser- 
vice, or  returning  to  their  regiments  after  having  been  relieved. 

1421.  No  expenses  of  transportation  of  officers  will  be  admitted  that 
do  pot  aiise  from  orders  emanating  from  the  Adjutant  and  Insi:ector 
General's  Office,  except  they  be  required  to  visit  branch  or  auxiliary 
rendezvous  under  their  charge,  when  they  will  be  allowed  the  stage, 
steamboat,  or  railroad  Aire,  porterage  included. 

1422.  Whenever  an  officer  is  relieved  or  withdrawn  from  the  recyuiti 
ing  service,  he  will  pay  over  the  balance  of  any  unexpended  recruiting 
funds  in  his  posseSvsion  to  the  officer  appointed  to  succeed  him,  or  to  the 
paymaster,  if  no  officer  be  so  designated  ;  and  if  there  be  no  paymaster 
or  o^ier  proper  officer  convenient  to  receive  such  balance,  the  amount 
will  bo  deposited  to  the  credit  of  the  Treasurer  of  the  Confederate'*' 
States,  v^'ith  tho  most  convenient  Assistant  Treasurer,  or  other  deposi- 
tary of  public  money.  In  either  ease  the  officer  will  forward  to  the. 
Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  the  evidence  of  the  disposition  he  may 
make  of  the  funds,  and  report  the  fact  to  the  superintendent,  or  to  his 
colonel,  if  on  regimental  recruiting  service.

be  for  board  and  lodging,  the  oflBcer  in  charge  shall  estimate  the  cost  of 
the  ration  for  which  the  contractor  shall  be  paid  from  the  subsistence

DEPOTS  FOR  COLLECTING  AND  INSTRUCTING  RECRUITS. 

1441.';^The  depots  for  recruits  are  established  by  orders  from  the  Ad- 
jutant and  Inspector-General's  office. 


RECRUITING  SERVICB.  393 

1442.  To  each  depot  there  will  be  assigned  a  suitable  number  of  of- 
ficers to  command  and  instmct  the  recruits;  and  wheft  necessary,  such 
number  of  enlisted  men  as  may  be  designated  at  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General's  office,  will  be  selected  for  the  permanent  party,  to  do 
garrison  duty  and  for  drill  masters. 

1443.  The  niyjiber  of  recruits  at  depots  to  be  assigned  to  each  arm 
and  regiment  is  directed  from  tlic  Adjuiatit  and  Inspector  GeneraPs  of- 
fice. 

1444.  The  recruits  are  to  be  dressed  in  uniform  according  to  their  re- 
Bpectfve  arms,  and  will  be  regularly  mustered  and  inspected.  They  are 
to  be  well  drilled  in  thQ  infantry  tactics,  through  the  school  of  the  sol- 
dier to  that  of  the  battalion,  and  in  the  exercise  of  field  and  garrison 
pieces.     Duty  is  to  l)e  done  according  to  the  strict  rules  of  service. 

1445.  The  general  superintendent  will  cause  such  of  the  recruits  as 
arg  found  to  possess  a  natural  talent  for  music,  to  be  instructed  (besides 
the  drill  of  the  soldier)  on  the  fife,  bugle  and  drum,  and  other  military 
instruments  ;  and  boys  of  twelve  years  of  age  and  upward  may,  under 
his  direction,  be  enlisted  for  this  purpose.  But  as  recruits  under 
eighteen  years  of  age  and  under  size  must  be  discharged,  if  they  are 
not  capable  of  learning  music,  care  should  be  taken  to  enlist  these  only 
who  have  a  natural  talent  for  music,  and,  if  practicable,  they  should  be 
taken  on  trial  for  some  time  before  being  enlisted. 

1446.  Regiments  will  be  furnished  with  field  music  on  the  requisi- 
ti'ins  of  their  commanders,  made,  from  time  to  time,  direct  on  the  gene- 
ral superintendent;  and  when  requested  by  regimental  commanders, 
the  superintendents  will  endeavor  to  have  suitable  men  selected  from 
the  recruits,  or  enlisted  for  the  regimental  bands. 

1447.  To  give  encouragement  to  the  recruits,  and  hold  out  induce- 
ments to  good  conduct,  the  commanding  oflScer  of  the  depot  may  pro- 
mote such  of  them  to  be  lance  corporals  and  lance  sergeants  as  exhibit 
the  requisite  qualifications,  not  exceeding  the  pi-i^per  proportion  to  the 
number  of  recruits  at  the  depot.  These  appointments  will  be  an- 
nounced in  orders  in  the  usual  way,  and  will  be  continued  in  force  until 
they  join  their  regiments,  unless  sooner  revoked.  No  allowance  of  pay 
or  emoluments  is  to  be  assigned  to  these  appointments  ;  they  are  only 
to  be  considered  as  recommendations  to  the  captains  of  companies  and 
colonels  of  regiments  for  the  places  in  which  the  recruits  may  have 
acted  ;  but  such  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  treated  with  all  the 
respect  and  to  hare  all  the  authority  which  may  belong  to  the  stations 
of  sergeant  and  corporal. 

1448.  Permanent  parties  at  depots,  and  recruiting  parties,  will  be 
mustered,  inspected,  and  paid  in  the  same  manner  as  other  soldiers. 
Recruits  will  be  mustered  for  pay  only  at  depots,  and  when  paid  there 
one  half  of  their  monthly  pay  will  be  retained  until  they  join  their  regi- 
ments. 

1449.  When  recruits  are  received  at  a  garrisoned  post,  the  command- 
ing officer  will  place  them. under  the  charge  of  a  commissioned  officer. 

1450.  Recruits  are  not  to  be  put  to  any  labor  or  work  which  would 
ititerfere  with  their  instruction,  nor  are  they  to  be  employed  otherwise 
than  as  soldiers,  in  the  regular'duties  of  garrison  and  camp. 

1451.  Every  enlisted  man  dischfirged  ns  a  minor,  or  for  other  cause 


394  .  RECRUITING    SERVICE.       - 

involving  fraud  on  his  pai't  in  the  enlistment,  or  discharged  by  the  civil 
authority,  shall  forfeit  all  pay  and  allowances  due  at  the  time  of  the 
discharge. 

1452.  The  Rules  and  Articles  of*  War  are  to  be  read  to  the  recruits 
every  month,  after  the  inspection  ;  and  so  much  thereof  as  relates  to 
the  duties  of  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers  will  be  read  to 
them  every  week.  *' 

INSPECTION   OF   KECRUITS   AT   DEPOTS.  AND   POSTS. 

1453.  The  superintendent  or  commanding  officer  will  cause  a  minute 
and  critical  inspection  to  be  made  of  every  recruit  received  at  a  depot  ' 
two  days  after  his  arrival ;  and  should  any  recruit  be  found  unfit  for 
service,  or  to  have  been  enlisted  contrary  to  law  or  regulations,  he  shall 
assemble  a  Board  of  Inspectors,  to  examine  into  the  case.  A  board 
may  also  be  assembled  in  a  special  case,  when  a  concealed  defect  may 
become  manifest  in  a  recruit,  at  any  time  during  his  detention  at«the  * 
depot. 

1454.  Every  detachment  ordered  from  a  dJpot  to  any  regiment  or 
post' shall,  immediately  preceding  its  departure,  be  critically  inspected 
by  the  superintendent  or  commanding  officer  and  surgeon  ;  and,  when 
necessary,  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  convened. 

1455.  Recruits  received  at  a  military  post  or  station  shall  be  carefully 
inspected  by  the  commanding  officer  and  surgeon,  on  the  third  day  after  - 
their  arrival ;  and  if,  on  such  inspection,  any  recruit,  in  their  opinion*, 
be  unsound  or  otherwise  defective  in  such  degree  as  to  disqualify  him 
for  the  duties  of  a  soldier,  then  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  assem- 
bled to  examine  into  and  report  on  the  case.  (See  paragraphs  1438, 
1439,  1440.) 

1456.  Boards  for  the  inspection  of  recruits  will  be  composed  of  the 
three  senior  regimental  officers  present  on  duty,  with  the  troops,  in- 
cludrng  the  commanding  officer,  and  the  senior  medical  officer  of  the 
army  present.  * 

REJECTED  RECRUITS. 

1457.  In  all  cases  of  rejection,  the  reasons  therefor  will  be  stated  at 
large  in  a  special  report,  to  be  made  by  the  board  ;  which,  together  with 

.the  surgeon's  certificate  of  disability  for  service,  will  be  forwarded  by 
the  superintendent  or  commandant  of  the  post  direct  to  the  Adjutant  , 
and  Inspector  General.  In  all  such  cases,  the  commatiding  officer  will 
cause  the  articles  of  clothing  which  may  have  been  issued  to  the  re- 
cruit, with  the  price  of  each  article,  to.be  endorsed  on  the  certificate  of 
disability.  If  the  recommendation  of  the  board  for  the  discharge  of  the 
recruit  be  approved,  the  authority  therefor  will  be  endorsed  on  the 
certificate,  which  will  be  sent  back  to  be  filled  up  and  signed  by  the 
commanding  officer,  who  will  return  the  same  to  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General's  office. 

1458.  The  board  will  state  in  the  report  whether  the  disability,  or 
other  cause  of  rejection,  existed^  before  hj^  enlistment,  and  whether, 
yi\i\i  proper  care  and  examination,  \i  might  not  have  been  discovered. 

RECRUITS    SENT    TO    REGIMENTS. 

1459.  An  officer  entrusted  with  the  command  of  recruit^  ordered  to 


RECRUITING    SERVICE.  395 

regiments  will,  on  arriving  at  the  place  of  destination,  forward  the  fol- 
lowing papers: 

1.  To  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  and  the  Superintendent, 
each,  a  descriptive  roll  and  an  account  of  clothing  of  such  men  as  may 
have  deserted,  died,  or  been  left  on  the  route  from  any  cause  whatever, 
with  date  and  pUice ;  also,  a  special  report  of  tlie  date  of  his  arrival  at' 
the  post,  the  strength  and  condition  of  the  detachment  when  turned 
over  to  tho  commanding  officer,  and  all  circumstances  worthy  of  remark 
which  may  have  occurred  on  tlie  march. 

2.  To  the  Commanding  Officer  of  the  regiment  or  post,  the  muster 
and  descriptive  roll  furnished  him  at  the  time  of  setting  out,  properly 
signed  and  completed  by  recording  the  names  of  the  recruits  present, 
and  by  noting  in  the  column  for  remarks,  opposite  the  appropriate 
spaces,  the  time  and  place  of  death,  desertion,  apprehension,  or  other 
casualty  that  may  have  occurred  on  the  route. 

14G0.  Should  an  officer  be  reMeved  in  charge  of  a  detachment  en 
route,  before  it  reaches  its  destination,  the  date  and  place,  and  name  of 
the  officer  by  whom  it  is, relieved,  must  be  recorded  on  the  detachment 
roll.  Without  the  evidence  of  such  record,  no  charge  for  extra  pay  for 
clothing  accountability  of  a  detachment  equal  to  a  company  will  be  al- 
lowed. 

1461.  The  "original  muster  and  descriptive  roll"  of  every  detach- 
ment, with  remarks  showing  the  final  disposition  of  each  recruit,  and 
the  regiment  and  letter  of  the  company  to  which  he  may  be  assigned, 
will  be  signed  and  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  by 
the  commanding  officer  who  makes  the  assignment.  If  the  recruits 
embraced  in  one  roll  happen  to  be  assigned  to  different  posts,  the  origi- 
nal roll  is  to  continue  witii  the  last  detachment  to  its  destination,  each 
commander  completing  it  so  far  as  concerns  the  recruits  left  at  his  post. 
When  this  is  not  practicable,  extracts  from  the  original  roll  are  to  be 
made  by  tlie  authority  which  distributes  the  recruits,  to  accompany  the 
several  detachments  and  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector 

General  as  in  case  of  the  original  roll.

its  establishment,  for  which  purpose  he  will  obtain  the  necessary  funds, 
clothing,  &c.,  by  requisition  to  the  Adjutant  General. 

1404.  At  every  station  occupied  by  his  regii/l^nt,  or  any  part  of  it, 
the  colonel  will  designate  a  suitable  officer  to  attenddto  the  recruiting 
diHieS;  which  selection  will  not  relieve  such  officer  from  his  company 
or  other  ordinary  duties.  The  officer  thus  designated  will  be  kept  con- 
stantly furnished  with  funds,  and,  when  necessary,  with  clothing  and 
camp  equipage.     (See  paragraph  1441.) 

1405.  The  regimental  recruiting  officer  will,  with  the  approbation  of
